Chapter 17 Take the Initiative to Ask for Help!

Uzang was still negotiating peace with the Tang Dynasty at this time, so how could it suddenly invade the border?

And according to the memory of his previous life, Uzang did indeed invade the Tang Dynasty, but the time should be next year, or under the instigation of the Turks, how could it happen at this time?

Time has advanced so much?

However, in just a moment, Li Taiyi figured it out.

Because the Tang Dynasty did not negotiate peace with the Turks, it changed the world line. And if you think about it carefully, the Turks had resentment in their eyes when they left. They should have encouraged Uzang in advance.

"If the Turks are not eliminated, they will eventually be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Taiyi thought to himself.

On the other side, Gao Lishi was equally shocked.

Although he was in the palace, he still knew a little bit about the territory and geography of the Tang Dynasty.

Longxi has an important geographical location, with Uzang close to the northwest, but in the east, it borders the capital of the Tang Dynasty!

If Longxi is occupied by Uzang, the consequences will be disastrous.

"This matter should be mentioned in the court meeting this morning. As for those of us who are slaves, it's good to know. Government affairs are not something we can arbitrarily discuss."

Seeing Gao Lishi's shocked look, Eunuch Li just pointed it out without saying anything more.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Gao Lishi bowed and said.

On the other side, when Li Taiyi heard this, he turned around and left, not listening any more.

His memory was correct. The Uzangbian incident was just the beginning. Neither his father nor the ministers in the court realized that a big storm would soon hit.

"Anyway, it seems something must be done."

Li Taiyi thought like this and disappeared quickly.

In the bamboo forest, Eunuch Li only stopped talking and quickly started talking about other things.

"...By the way, the Za family sees that your boy is very discerning, why don't the Za family help you move away from the third prince? The third prince has been arrogant and cruel since he was a child, and he often abuses the servants around him.

Although it has changed a lot recently, I can't tell when it will change again. "

Eunuch Li seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Lishi. Before leaving, he suddenly spoke.

"My father-in-law is wrong. The third prince is the first master that the slave serves, and he will definitely be the last master. Moreover, the slave also believes that the third prince is not the kind of person everyone says, and he will definitely change everyone in the end. impression."

Unexpectedly, Gao Lishi, who had always seemed very submissive, walked up to Eunuch Li, bowed to Eunuch Li, and actually fought hard for the third prince to do so. He said respectfully,

"oh?"

Eunuch Li was also greatly surprised. Then he looked at Gao Lishi and made no secret of his admiration:

"You are also loyal, and being a slave is the real way to behave in the palace. But if something like that really happens, you can come to the Zajia when the time comes."

Seeing Gao Lishi's determined look, Eunuch Li just regarded him as a fledgling and didn't think about anything else.

"If you still have something to do with the Za family, please leave first. You can also go back and serve your Third Highness."

"Yes, congratulations to my father-in-law."

Gao Lishi said with respect.

Eunuch Li smiled, and after another mention, he quickly picked up the cup of medicine placed aside and headed towards the Taiyuan Hospital.

And Gao Lishi also hurriedly left.

Judging from the time, His Highness should be back soon.

"call!"

A sound of wind blew by, and the entire bamboo forest began to tremble with the sound.

Gao Lishi didn't know that just behind the bamboo forest, Eunuch Li who "left" only walked a few feet and stopped. He looked at Gao Lishi who was hurriedly leaving in the other direction, showing a knowing smile:

"Even the little eunuch serving beside him will speak for him. It seems that His Majesty was right. The third prince has really changed."

There is no love without reason.

He likes Gao Lishi, the young eunuch who has entered the palace, and often "chats" with him, not only because of his diligence, but also because of His Majesty.

Know the subtleties!

Whether the third prince has really changed, or whether he is just trying to deceive others and deceive the Holy One, you will know by asking the people around him.

"This is also a blessing for Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li smiled and left quickly.

…

In Wang Long Palace.

After returning, Li Taiyi did not study or practice as usual. Instead, he immediately summoned Wang Jiuling and roughly told the story of the incident.

"Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After thinking for a long time, Wang Jiuling finally raised his head and said.

"Well, it seems that we have thought of this together. I am going to go to the western border to establish military exploits!"

Li Taiyi said seriously.

"Now among the princes, the most prestigious eldest prince Li Xuantu is leading the battle on the Turkic border. The second prince has just gained the trust of the Tang Emperor and is participating in politics in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He will never give up such a good opportunity."

"The other disciples are far less ambitious and courageous. For His Highness, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At other times, His Highness would never have had such an opportunity."

Wang Jiuling pondered for a moment and then said:

"However, this also carries great risks. Although His Highness has gradually changed his impression in the eyes of the ministers and His Majesty, this is not enough."

"Furthermore, even so, His Highness is alone now, and there is no available force at all. With His Highness's current strength, if he wants to make something happen in the west border,... there is a long way to go, and it is far from simple. "

"Even if something goes wrong, the eldest prince and the second prince will use it to criticize His Highness."

These problems are real. The border war involves two empires and hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. This cannot be changed by one person.

The reason why the eldest prince and the second prince were able to succeed was because they were already fully fledged and each had a large number of party members who supported them.

As for the third prince, he had a lot of plans, and including himself, there were only a few of them.

"Retreating from danger is what ordinary people do. It is what heroes do when they know what to do. This is what heroes do, and it is also the path we chose from the beginning."

Master Wang knew that he would offend his father and still wrote the ten-thousand-word letter. Isn't that why? As the saying goes, if you don’t give it a try, how can you know the final result? "

Li Taiyi said seriously.

Wang Jiuling was silent, looking at the third prince's solemn expression, knowing that he had already made up his mind.

"Living towards death" and "doing it even if you know what cannot be done", this is exactly what is respectable about this third prince.

When they first met, Wang Jiuling still had some grudges and prejudices in his heart. However, after getting along with him for this period of time, he gradually understood what kind of person the third prince was.

He does have some unique qualities, which is why I slowly decided to follow him.

"In that case, let's do as His Highness wishes."

Wang Jiuling said:

"I know some passionate people in the capital. Although they may not be great generals, they will definitely be helpful to His Highness during his trips to Longxi."

"Um."

Li Taiyi nodded.

After Wang Jiuling left, Li Taiyi sat in front of the desk and began to sharpen ink. After thinking for a moment, he quickly started writing on a blank notebook.

Li blew it, and after the ink dried a little, Li Taiyi handed the envelope to a young eunuch in the Jade Dragon Palace:

"Send this letter to Tai Chi Hall."

"yes!"

The latter quickly hurried away after hearing this.

………

The sky is clear.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Tang frowned and was correcting the memorial.

"Your Majesty, this is the booklet sent from Jade Dragon Palace."

Eunuch Li held a booklet, held it in front of Emperor Tang with both hands respectfully, and said softly.

"Xuan'er's book?"

Although Emperor Tang was confused, he still reached out to take the fold and read it.

It's still dark, and there's still some time before the morning court. Why would Xuan'er send the book at this time? And it was still sent to his Tai Chi Hall?

However, Emperor Tang's confused look did not last long. When he saw clearly the contents of the document, something suddenly changed.

"Xuan'er wants to invite Ying to go to Longxi to fight against the enemy?!"

In an instant, Emperor Tang's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

He has a total of six dragon sons, all of whom are considered to be extremely talented and beautiful people. The eldest prince has fought many wars against the Turks, and the second prince has also made military exploits against Goguryeo. However, his favorite third prince...

The bad qualities of the playboy can be seen in him. For this reason, in the past, he wanted to send the third prince to the border for training, but he was taken away by him.

Now that he asked Ying to fight, it surprised him a lot.

However, even if the third prince asked for help, Emperor Tang was not a man of high spirits. Soon, Emperor Tang shook his head and put Li Taiyi's note aside.

Although Saburo's discount surprised him, it's not the time yet.

"Let's talk about it later."

Emperor Tang secretly thought.

…

It has been three days since Li Taiyi handed over his note, but like a mud cow entering the sea, there has been no movement at all.

"It seems that it was put aside by Father!"

Li Taiyi said secretly, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

This is a big event, after all, it is a military and national event. Although I have had several previous incidents, I have performed extremely well, which made my father change his prejudice against me.

But it was obvious that when it came to the two great empires of Uszang and Datang, my father would never let go and send them over easily.

And if my father does not relent and has no military exploits, I am afraid that I will never be able to compete with the two royal brothers, let alone change the dark destiny of this world in the future.

For a moment, Li Taiyi's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

But just in the blink of an eye, Li Taiyi came back to his senses, with a smile on his lips.

It’s hard to disobey your orders!

It's not easy to get your father to change his mind!

However, Li Taiyi was confident and succeeded in doing this.

"Brother Second Emperor, I'm afraid I need to borrow your power."

Li Taiyi smiled slightly, quickly ground the ink and laid out the paper. After recalling it for a moment, he copied the previous notes on the paper again without missing a word.

"Ah! I'm so tired! Gao Lishi, please go out for a walk with me."

Li Taiyi stretched his muscles, stood up quickly, and walked out.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Gao Lishi quickly followed and walked out.

As soon as the two of them disappeared, a pindrop could be heard in the hall, and everything became quiet.

And shortly after the two left -

Uh-huh!

As soon as the light flashed, a young eunuch from the Jade Dragon Palace glanced left and right to confirm that no one was there. He quickly ran to the table, picked up the folding book on the table, and looked at it carefully.

"It's actually related to Uzang. We must tell the second prince immediately!"

The little eunuch had a stern look in his eyes and quickly left without disturbing anyone.

However, the little eunuch didn't know that all the actions in the room were not hidden from the eyes in the dark.

"As expected!"

In the shadow, the man smiled.

Looking carefully, the man wearing a robe was none other than Li Taiyi, who had obviously left before.

The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind!

Even the young eunuch knew that Li Taiyi was trying to lure him out from the beginning.

Everything was as he expected. In this palace, everyone has other people's eyes and ears around them.

Although Huo Yuan is dead, the second prince still has many people ambushing him.

However, this time he did it deliberately.

…

Everything was as Li Taiyi expected. The young eunuch from the Jade Dragon Palace quickly entered the second prince's mansion after leaving.

"What? The third brother wrote a letter to his father and took the initiative to invite Ying to Longxi?!"

The sky gradually brightened. In one of the palaces, behind a red sandalwood table, the second prince Li Chengyi said with surprise as he listened to the news about the little eunuch in front of him.

This little eunuch was the one who left the Jade Dragon Palace in a hurry. He was the spy placed by Li Chengyi next to Li Taiyi.

Hearing the news about the little eunuch, Li Chengyi immediately put down the pen in his hand.

When the Longxi battle report reached the Taiji Hall, Li Chengyi knew the news immediately. He originally planned to write a letter to ask Ying to go to Longxi for support. After all, it was a border issue and barbarians were not allowed to be arrogant.

but now……

"Oh, since my third brother wants to go, I'll give him a push."

Li Chengyi sneered, with a sinister look in his eyes. As he spoke, he placed the originally written folding book on the candle and burned it.

He has no shortage of military achievements. A few years ago, he led his troops to retreat from Goguryeo and made a lot of achievements.

Now, if the third brother wants to go, let him go.

——After all, no one would find it strange that a prince died on a dangerous battlefield.

Moreover, when the third prince leaves the capital, the entire court belongs to him. He can take advantage of this period to consolidate his new power.

"Come here! Send this envelope to Your Majesty!"

…………

Time passed slowly, and the information submitted by Li Taiyi was like a mud cow drowning in the sea. No news came out, and Li Taiyi was not in a hurry, flipping through the military books in the Jade Dragon Palace and reading them carefully.

However, Li Taiyi did not wait too long. A few days later, while Li Taiyi was flipping through the pages, suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given orders to finally allow His Majesty to go out with the army and enter Uzang!"

Gao Lishi walked in with a happy face and said impatiently.

Hearing this, Li Taiyi just glanced at it and quickly continued to read the military book. His expression was calm, as if he had expected it.

"Second brother really hasn't changed at all."

After hearing this, Li Taiyi finally put down the book.

Sure enough, everything is under his control!

A smile appeared on Li Taiyi's lips.
