Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

When Li Yuan returned to the military tent, Li Si, Wang Meng and others had been waiting for a long time.

When everyone saw Li Yuan walking in with a smile on his face, he felt at ease.

"The royal ancestor has chosen to support Gu!"

Li Yuan didn't make anyone interested and announced directly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Everyone looked happy.

After returning to his seat, Li Yuan said with a solemn expression:

"And Gu has asked the Great Ancestor and the Third Ancestor to go to the Southwest War together to resolve the rebellion in the Southwest."

Li Si, Wang Meng, Fan Zhongyan and others looked stern.

"I plan to send Fang Wukui to lead the Xuanwu Legion and Ma Chao's Snow Lion Legion to Qingzhou."

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, showing a fierce fighting spirit.

Qin Liangyu on the side also raised his head and looked at Li Yuan with an expectant expression.

"The generals of the Qingzhou imperial court's 500,000-strong army are all close associates of General Fang Wukui. With General Fang there, he can easily control the 500,000-strong imperial army."

"Wang Meng, Qin Liangyu, Wang Yue, and Jia Xu, the four of you will also follow the army to the southwest battle situation."

"yes!"

Wang Meng, Qin Liangyu, and Wang Yue, who were named, all took a step forward with loud voices and piercing eyes.

Li Yuan nodded slightly to Jia Xu who nodded and smiled. Jia Xu had been following him and was very familiar with the entire southwest war situation. With him around, he could feel more at ease.

As for Kyoto...

"Li Si, Fan Zhongyan, Wei Zheng, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhongli Mei will continue to follow Gu into the capital."

Li Yuan's eyes showed strong confidence. With Li Si, Fan Zhongyan, Wei Zheng, Liu Jin, and Shangguan Wan'er here, he didn't believe that the officials in the Kyoto court could turn the world upside down.

"Here!"

When everyone learned that the royal family patriarch supported His Highness, they already had some idea of ​​where they were going, so no one was surprised.

At this moment, a letter came from the people at the expert factory outside the military tent.

"Your Highness, a secret message from Qingzhou."

Qingzhou Secret Letter?

Li Yuan's eyelids moved slightly as he read Wu Yong's letter.

"Come in!"

Soon the people from the expert factory respectfully presented the letter to Li Yuan.

It turned out to be Wu Yong's letter.

This was the letter Wu Yong wrote to Li Yuan before he left with Chu Qingyan, informing Li Yuan of his current situation and the situation in Qingzhou.

"Chu Qingyan has left the Dayu Dynasty."

Li Yuandang watched Wu Yong describe in his letter that he, Xing Daorong, and Pan Feng all followed Chu Qingyan to leave the Yu Dynasty and go to an unknown place.

Li Yuan handed the letter to Liu Jin, and Liu Jin read out the contents of the letter to let everyone know the situation.

"It seems that Chu Qingyan should have gone to Fengyu Dynasty, and she has become a hostage again." Li Yuan said with a rather strange expression.

At this time, Chu Qingyan went to Fengyu Dynasty. Needless to say, it was known that this was the exchange condition for Chu Junxiong's request for Fengyu Dynasty's support. In layman's terms, it was just a hostage.

This Chu Qingyan is a bit special.

He came to Kyoto when he was young and became a hostage. Now he went to Fengyu Dynasty and became a hostage again.

"Your Highness, we need to speed up our pace."

Wang Meng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "According to Wu Yong's news, Chu Qingyan's departure means that people from the Fengyu Dynasty have arrived, and Chu Junyan has set a trap to kill Taishi Shuming, and the situation in Qingzhou has suddenly changed. , all these indicate that the decisive battle of the Southwest War is imminent, and if nothing else happens, Chu Junxiong has already begun to take action!"

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold and he nodded heavily:

"Send Fang Wu Kui to come in!"

………………………………

"Seventh brother, are you sure that the great ancestor is going to bring your imperial brother back?"

Two days have passed since the seventh prince Li Ce returned from searching for his great ancestor.

Faced with the questioning of Prime Minister Lin and Lu Xun, Queen Lin and Concubine Lu could no longer hold on, so they came again and asked worriedly.

Li Ce sat upright, looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the two princesses, and said sincerely:

"Two royal sisters-in-law, don't you believe me? The great ancestor did tell us this. You have also seen that the great ancestor has indeed left now. Anyway, that's what he said. We will tell you according to his original words. You guys."

"Yes, Sister-in-law, you have come here to ask us eight questions in the past two days." The Eighth Prince rubbed the temples on his head and said helplessly.

Seeing their helpless and unable to answer expressions, Concubine Lu laughed dryly:

"Oh, seventh brother and eighth brother, you also know that the situation is tense now. We are not the only ones who are anxious. All the officials in the court are like ants on a hot pot, anxious."

"Yes, Prime Minister Lin, Master Lu and other ministers can't sit still. They also want to get accurate information." Queen Lin also said.

"Now that the Great Ancestor has been away for two days, he should have found the location of King Chu by now. Maybe he has brought the emperor brother out now, and it will take a day or two for him to come back. The two emperor sisters-in-law can just wait. Otherwise, if you keep asking us, we won’t know where the ancestor is and what he is doing." Li Ce spread his hands and said helplessly.

Concubine Lu said sadly: "Seventh brother, I also know that our ancestor has left the palace, but Prime Minister Lin and the others pressed hard, and we had no choice, so we came to see you again."

"But if you come to us, there is nothing we can do. The fact is that the ancestor has left to find King Chu to rescue the emperor brother. This is our answer. If you don't believe it, there is nothing we can do." Eight The prince also looked sad and helpless.

"Oh, seventh and eighth brothers, it's not that we don't believe it, but that Prime Minister Lin, Shangshu Lu, Shangshu Tang of the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu Hubu, Master Chen, and Master Hao don't believe it. You also know that their whole bodies are tied here now. We have to be anxious about this matter, so you two should be patient and stop going to the ancestral temple to find out whether the great ancestor came back to rescue your majesty." Queen Lin begged.

"Sister-in-law, this is the result. Let's just wait for two more days. If the ancestor doesn't come back, how about we go again?" Li Ce said.

"Going in two days?" Concubine Lu frowned deeply, "But those ministers in the court..."

"If the ministers in the court don't believe it, let them come to me. How about I help the two emperors' sisters-in-law to persuade them, so that they don't have to talk nonsense anymore?"

Li Ce made a helpless expression, but the flash in his eyes was caught by Queen Lin and Concubine Lu.

Queen Lin suddenly became wary. She knew that Li Ce was ambitious and it was absolutely impossible for Li Ce to contact the ministers, so she immediately refused:

"Okay, of course we believe what the seventh brother said, so we will wait for another two days for the great ancestor to come back."

Concubine Lu couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety when she saw Queen Lin agreeing. She still had to wait two days, but they couldn't hide it from Prime Minister Lin and Lu Xun.

Queen Lin also saw Concubine Lu's anxious look and gave a firm look in return.

drag!

No matter what, try your best to delay it for another two days! (End of chapter)
