"It turns out that Brother Li has experienced so many things in these years."
In the courtyard of the Li family base, Zhu Qingge heard the story told by his old friend in front of him and sighed, "Just hearing it is so thrilling. It is hard to imagine how dangerous it must have been when Brother Li experienced it himself."
"If you endure it, you'll get through it."
Li Ziye said calmly, "How about you, Crown Prince? We haven't seen you for many years. Do you have any interesting stories?"
"I?"
Zhu Qingge shook his head slightly and responded, "Since we left Mobei, I returned to the royal city and resisted the invasion of the Buddhist kingdom with my father. There are no wonderful stories like those experienced by Brother Li. Speaking of which, when I When my father and I fight against the Buddha Kingdom, I have to thank Brother Li for sending the Heavenly Sword to the royal city, otherwise, my father and I may not be able to stop the Green Lantern Buddha."
"It should."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "The prince has also seen that my Li family still has some property in the royal city. If the Buddhist Kingdom invades, my Li family will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Brother Li, you always use your philistine side to cover up your own righteousness." Zhu Qingge looked at the white-haired young man in front of him and said with a complicated expression.
For some people, you can't just listen to what he said, but also what he did.
The white hair of Brother Li in front of him is enough to explain everything.
"First there is a small family, then there is great justice."
Li Ziye said calmly, "I think this is the same for the Crown Prince and the Southwest Palace."
After hearing what the former said, Zhu Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Brother Li has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Southwest Royal City. He must have something important to do, right?"
"There is indeed something I want to ask the prince for."
Li Ziye said calmly, "In the Western Region, the Tianyu Palace's army has repeatedly invaded our border. I would like to ask the Crown Prince to send troops to join forces with the Buyi King and the Triumphant King to defeat the Tianyu Palace's invasion."
"oh?"
When Zhu Qingge heard this, he looked surprised and responded, "I thought Brother Li wanted me to send troops from the southwest royal city to fight against the Eight Tribes of Mobei."
"No."
Li Ziye denied, "The eight tribes in Mobei are mainly cavalry and march very fast. Even if the southwest army returns to support, it will not be able to change the trend of the war in a short period of time. It is better to quickly go north without anyone noticing. , cooperated with the Rakshasa Army of the Buyi King and the Xuanjia Army of the Triumphant King, to defeat the Tianyu army in one fell swoop and put an end to the war in the Western Region."
"It's a great idea."
Zhu Qingge nodded and asked, "However, I don't understand why Brother Li didn't meet my father directly, but came to me first."
"Because only the crown prince will listen patiently to what I have to say."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Today, we don't talk about righteousness, we only talk about the small family. When I came here, Your Majesty, I saw that the people of the royal city were living happily under the care of the Southwest Palace. But, have you ever thought about what would happen if you... The prince cannot be crowned king, and the Southwest Royal City will be taken back by the court sooner or later. At that time, the royal city that the Southwest King and the Crown Prince have guarded their entire lives will fall into the hands of others."
"In Brother Li's view, the Southwest Royal City, for my father and I, is not about righteousness, but about a small family?" Zhu Qingge asked rhetorically.
"It's obvious."
Li Ziye responded softly and replied with an affirmative tone, "After decades of guarding, the royal city is a small home for the Southwest King and the Crown Prince."
Zhu Qingge stared at his old friend in front of him for a long time, then looked away, took a sip of the cold tea in front of the table, and said, "Even if the Southwest Army does not send troops, the royal city has successfully resisted the invasion of the Buddhist Kingdom, and with the military's will, this prince will succeed me. My father’s position as King of Martial is also expected by everyone.”
"I admit that in order to stabilize the military morale of the Southwest King's City, the imperial court may let the crown prince inherit the position of King Wu of the Southwest King."
Li Ziye asked seriously, "But is the prince willing? Everyone knows that the merits of resisting the Buddhist kingdom are not enough for the prince to be crowned king. The court was forced by the military morale of the Southwest Army and crowned the crown prince as King Wu. How can the Southwest Army be appeased? Can your military morale satisfy the Crown Prince?"
Having said this, Li Ziye paused and continued, "Your Majesty, do you want to think in the eyes of the world that your throne is hereditary? Your Majesty clearly has the opportunity and ability to use military merit in a dignified manner. Proclaimed king!"
In front of the stone table, Zhu Qingge listened to the words of the person in front of him. He clenched his hand holding the tea cup and said nothing.
In a room not far away, Xiaosi and Hibiscus looked at each other, then looked away at the same time.
The young master's mind-attacking ability is really amazing.
There is no doubt that the Crown Prince of Southwest is a very talented person. How could such a person be willing to bear the stigma of relying on his ancestors to inherit the throne?
You must know that the King Wu of Dashang has never been hereditary.
"If I can reduce the casualties of the Southwest Army, I am willing to bear this stigma."
At night, Zhu Qingge was silent for a long time, put down the teacup in his hand, and said weakly.
"Your Majesty, the families of the Southwest Army are all in Dashang."
Li Ziye said seriously, "Isn't the meaning of being a soldier just to protect your loved ones from the flames of war? I think there are many soldiers in the Southwest Army who want to send troops to protect their families, right? As for what the prince said The best way to reduce the casualties of the Southwest Army is to launch surprise troops, move north quickly, and severely damage the Tianyu Army. As long as the Crown Prince agrees to send troops, I can even make the decision and arrange the Southwest Army between the Xuanjia Army and the Rakshasa Army. Later, in this way, the casualties of the Southwest Army can be reduced to a minimum!"
"boom!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingge crushed the tea cup in his hand, looked at the person in front of him, and said angrily, "You are insulting our Southwest Army!"
"Your Majesty, even the Southwest King felt it was insulting to send troops behind the Xuanjia Army and the Rakshasa Army. The entire Great Shang Dynasty was at war, and all the Wu Kings and armies were fighting bloody battles. Only the Southwest Army remained stationary. Do you think that the Southwest Army What will the army’s family, the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the Great Shang battlefield, and even the people of the world think?”
Li Ziye said calmly, "They will only think that the Southwest King and the Southwest Army are cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"enough!"
Zhu Qingge slammed the table and stood up, his expression changed again and again, and said, "You can insult me, but you cannot insult my father and the Southwest Army. Today's conversation between you and me ends here. Let's take our leave."
After speaking, Zhu Qingge turned and left without saying another word.
In the courtyard, Li Ziye sat alone in front of the stone table, silently picked up the tea and took a sip.
The duty of a soldier is to fight, and the honor of a soldier is above all else, including life.
The Prince of Southwest understands this truth better than anyone else, so he is so angry.
However, if you understand clearly, the key is whether the entire Southwest Palace can overcome the hurdle in your heart.
Princess Qingqing, if you have a soul in heaven, you will bless the Southwest King and the Crown Prince to successfully open their hearts. The glory of the Southwest City should not stop here.
Late at night.
In the study of Southwest Prince's Mansion, Southwest Prince raised his head, looked at his son who had returned outside, and said, "Back?"
"Father, do you know I'm out?" Zhu Qingge stopped and asked in surprise.
"This is the palace."
The Southwest King said calmly, "Although I don't know the origin of the person who took you away, but since you are willing to go out with her, I guess you won't be an enemy."
