Chapter 689: Involving the Southwest

"You two adults, it's better not to praise me. In fact, can you two still not see this matter? Even if Nanzhao is angry, Datang has no other way to deal with it. We just need to give them an explanation. "

Li Chengqian did not take the credit for himself. This is a real prince. You are the next emperor. Is there any use in taking the credit for yourself? As long as Datang can make a smooth transition to you, that will be your greatest success.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji both nodded. They were a little confused at first, but later it became clear that the other party actually did not dare to make a big deal out of the matter. If they make a big fuss, it will be of no benefit to them. The Tang Dynasty only sacrificed the tranquility of the southwest border, but for Nanzhao, it is very likely that there will be a danger of annihilation. They can see clearly what is more important. .

"His Royal Highness is selfless, and I admire you very much. I still have some chores in the yamen, so I will take the lead."

Fang Xuanling is a discerning person. Now that Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji are brothers, they must have something to say, so let’s not block their eyes here. Seeing Fang Xuanling leave, Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian also slowly walked to the small garden next to them.

"Li Tai's matter really has nothing to do with you?"

Without other people, Changsun Wuji didn't have so many etiquettes. After all, he was his nephew who grew up, so he immediately showed his ambition to be an uncle. Li Chengqian was taught by his uncle since he was a child, even though So what if you become the prince, you can just listen here honestly.

"My uncle, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Those people were not following me just now. Can I buy them all off?"

Li Chengqian said with a grimace. Changsun Wuji thought that the few people who had just come out to testify were not from Li Chengqian's faction. They were all neutral officials in the court. Those people should not help Li Chengqian lie.

"What has your second brother been doing recently? Why has he become so anxious?"

Changsun Wuji rarely blushed when he said this. After all, you are Li Tai's biological uncle. Except for necessary occasions, you two have not met at all during this period, so you are also responsible.

When Queen Changsun died, she told Changsun Wuji that all these children would be entrusted to Changsun Wuji. Although Li Shimin was his biological father, Li Shimin had many sons and daughters, and he did not necessarily only take care of them. I am a few, but Changsun Wuji is different. If I can take care of them, I will also take care of these few.

"Returning to my uncle, the second brother has been drinking during this period. After drinking, his emotions are out of control. I also heard from several people in the Wei Palace that the second brother has been thinking about finding a good family for the third nephew. Maybe After hearing the news, I was unwilling and, coupled with drinking, we ended up in this situation today."

Li Chengqian's summarizing ability was much better than before. He told the matter in a few words. Li Chengqian didn't say more or less. The rest was up to Changsun Wuji. He knew that Changsun Wuji I will definitely investigate. There is no need to slander your brother in front of his uncle. On the contrary, you will make yourself less than a human being.

"You go and do your work. There should be a lot of government affairs in the East Palace. I'll go to the second child."

Changsun Wuji nodded, still holding an imperial edict in his hand. He did not dare to waste time here, so he found a young eunuch to take him out of the palace, and went to King Wei first.

After finishing all these things, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief. This incident was indeed sudden, but when it comes to the later part, Li Chengqian really had an idea. Although the southwest region is poor, it has to be said that the local people are very good. He is tough and has extremely strong fighting power. If he can let his son conquer this place, then the chips on his son will become heavier and heavier.

Of course, this also requires risks. If it is found out that this matter has been premeditated, then Li Shimin will start to take action again. After all, Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and has the most resources. If he is suspected, , just don’t live those days at all.

But today's incident was really not planned by Li Chengqian. Those officials testified for Li Chengqian, and so many young eunuchs in the palace saw it. Li Chengqian had not made any preparations before. Even if Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji went to investigate, In the end, nothing can be found out, and you will definitely believe that what you said is true.

At this time, Li Chengqian felt a little sympathetic to Wei Wang Li Tai. After this incident, everyone has to regard Wei Wang Li Tai as the Li Chengqian of the past. After all, Li Chengqian gave people a crazy feeling at that time. The things Wei Wang Li Tai did today are basically Kamiya is almost crazy.

On the way back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian thought over everything in detail. There was no way to entrust this matter to others, not even the most trusting people. After all, there was selfishness in it, which could easily arouse Li Shimin's resentment. , so I can only think about it myself.

"What's going on?"

When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, there were people waiting at the door to give gifts. There were rules for giving gifts in the Tang Dynasty. Basically, it was before noon. There was an endless stream of people coming to the East Palace to give gifts, but it was almost sunset now. , who will give gifts at this time?

"The envoy from the small country has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Qian Ping was about to answer, a person flashed out from behind Qian Ping. This person was Kotgur, the special envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom.

"It turns out to be the special envoy, is this?"

According to the original regulations, when the special envoy of Nanzhao came to see Li Shimin, he only needed to give Li Shimin a batch of gifts. Although Li Chengqian was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he did not have a separate gift.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the big changes. Originally, Li Chengqian was just His Royal Highness, but now the two countries are about to become in-laws, so you can't save this reason.

After understanding this explanation, Li Chengqian also admired the person in front of him for what he had just decided. Now that you have brought the gift, you did not reach out to hit the smiling person. Li Chengqian could only lead them in to drink tea and take a look. What else does this envoy have to say?

Because I was going to attend Li Shimin's banquet in the evening, I came here to give gifts at this time. The Nanzhao envoy knew the rules of the Tang Dynasty. They talked about this first after sitting down, and they didn't want to come to give gifts at sunset.
