Li Xiang and Li Chengqian were very confused about Li Shimin's arrangement. It was just a Fuso, but he mobilized a prince and two generals at once. This was indeed a bit too much.
"Eunuch Wang..."
Li Chengqian had done things like bribing eunuchs many times before. Now that only his son was here, Li Chengqian had a lot of questions in his mind. He could only call Wang De aside and quickly handed him two silver notes.
"After General Qin entered the palace, he and Your Majesty reminisced about the glorious past. Your Majesty also thought of the suffering of the generals, so..."
When Wang De said this, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief. He still knew his father very well. If there was anyone who could empathize with his father, it would probably be these few remaining generals, who were all the founders of the Tang Dynasty.
It was just that Li Chengqian and Li Xiang had not expected that Prince Wu Li Ke would lead the troops to war again. The last time Prince Wu Li Ke led the troops to the expedition to Xueyantuo, the losses were already considerable. According to Li Shimin's way of doing things, even if he gave his son another chance, he would never let him continue to lead the troops.
Even if he wanted to guard against Li Xiang, he should have chosen another son. Besides, Prince Wu Li Ke was not a son that Li Shimin truly trusted.
As for the fighting style on the battlefield, King Wu Li Ke certainly doesn't need to worry about it. Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao are both capable of handling things on their own. There will definitely be no mistakes when these two lead the troops forward. What's more, Li Xiang has Su Dingfang by his side, so King Wu Li Ke will be just a decoration after he goes there.
After sending Wang De away, the three old men returned to the house again. They could understand everything else except the matter of Prince Wu Li Ke. There was no need to send a prince there, and Prince Wu Li Ke had a good relationship with Li Xiang. If they wanted to cut off Li Xiang's control over the army, they should send Prince Wei Li Tai there.
The prince leading the troops this time is just a symbolic one. With two generals following this prince, he probably has no way to command the army, both publicly and privately.
"I see……"
Just when everyone else was feeling depressed, Li Chengqian patted his thigh. As a prince of the royal family, he was the one who could best understand his father's intentions.
When he saw Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Xiang immediately understood, but Cheng Yaojin next to him didn't understand. When it came to matters concerning the royal family, the royal family members themselves would understand things faster. Even though Cheng Yaojin's mind worked quickly, he couldn't understand what was going on inside at the moment.
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Yaojin was now almost driven to despair by curiosity. After hearing what the Crown Prince had said, he also wanted to know what was going on.
"I'm afraid my younger brother will be in Fusang in the future. If Fusang is conquered this time, a governor will definitely be appointed. Then my younger brother will be the governor of Fusang, and the King of Wu will also be granted land here in the future."
After Li Chengqian said this, Li Xiang also nodded beside him. Li Shimin could be said to have complicated feelings towards Wu Wang Li Ke. The relationship between Li Shimin and Concubine Yang was established in their youth, and it was definitely able to stand the test of time. However, Wu Wang Li Ke had the blood of the previous emperor, and the court ministers were also strongly opposed to it.
The most important thing is that Wu Wang Li Ke is a talented person. Although he has a good relationship with Li Xiang now, how can there be so much brotherhood in the royal family? Even if you are uncle and nephew, it is possible that they will quarrel in the future. Just look at Li Shimin and his two brothers. Not to mention that the relationship between uncle and nephew is even more distant than that between brothers.
If Li Chengqian ascends the throne in the future, perhaps Prince Wu Li Ke will still have a chance to survive. But if Li Xiang becomes emperor and Prince Wu Li Ge commits something, even if Li Xiang will not hold his uncle accountable, won't his subordinates stir up trouble?
Li Chengqian's court ministers may still have connections with Li Shimin's ministers, and they can also understand Li Shimin's good intentions, so King Wu Li Ke can still be safe in Li Chengqian's area, but if he goes to Li Xiang's area, many people are no longer there. As long as the prince makes a mistake, those sunbathing rooms will keep a close eye on him.
After figuring this out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't targeting us, there was no need for us to be nervous. It was just a matter of finding a way out for our sons. Not to mention the emperor, the same was true for ordinary fathers.
"Grandfather really judged me intolerant."
After Li Xiang figured it all out, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. According to Li Xiang's understanding of himself, if he really had talent, he really wouldn't do too much to clear out this matter.
"Some things are hard to say, and we can't talk about what happened outside the imperial city gates. If it weren't for us, the two princes might have saved their lives, but we also want wealth and glory..."
Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice. Throughout Li Shimin's reign, the Xuanwu Gate Incident was something that could not be talked about. Even in front of his relatives and son-in-law, Cheng Yaojin had to be careful.
What's more, they all contributed to the killing of the crown prince and the king of Qi. If they were not killed out of consideration for the brotherhood, this matter would not have a good ending in the future. So in order to ensure that Li Shimin was pushed to the throne, Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing were the instigators of the whole thing. Only by killing the crown prince and the king of Qi, their subordinates would have no chance, and we would be able to be granted the title of duke.
Li Chengqian and Li Xiang were not in a position to say anything about matters concerning the previous generation, but they also believed that what Cheng Yaojin said was true. Since the matter had been decided, being the main general or the deputy general was the same. Cheng Yaojin was the same as Li Xiang, and there was no more reward for him. Being able to stroll around the battlefield of Fusang could be considered a comfort in his old age.
"Old General, you should go and express your gratitude quickly. Now that the news has been revealed, the Emperor must also know that you are here..."
Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something else, and Cheng Yaojin slapped his head. Some things don't need to be made too clear. If they are not passed, it would be disrespectful to the emperor. Where are the secrets in the palace? Not to mention that when Cheng Yaojin came, there was such a scene.
