The entire ministers in the court were stunned. They stared at the source of the voice, King Li Ke of Shu.
This person's arrival can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.
He walked towards Uncle Guo step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on the long river of history, firm and powerful.
"The power of the Tang Dynasty cannot be preserved, let alone given by others."
Li Ke's voice was firm, and every word seemed to have been carefully considered. "It belongs to every citizen of the Tang Dynasty, including you and me."
Uncle Guo looked at him with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
This young man was once just a poor prince, but he was able to find a way out between life and death, and now he dared to contradict him in the court.
This had to make him re-examine this young man.
"You want power, and that's understandable."
Li Chong looked at Uncle Guo, as if he was looking into his heart, "But you have to know that the basis of power is the people. Without the support of the people, you are nothing."
At this moment, the entire court fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the two of them.
Those who once dismissed Li Ke now have their eyes widened, as if they can't believe that this young man has such courage and wisdom.
"And you," Li Chong stretched out his finger and pointed at Uncle Guo, "you only see the power, but forget about the people. Your so-called guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will not be lost is just a guarantee of your personal power."
Although his voice was not loud, it echoed in the court like thunder.
Every word cuts deep into people's hearts like a knife.
"Is the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty really good? Don't you see, my elder brother Chengqian has been on the throne for a long time, and how could my father be right? I did not get my position by relying on you. I only believe in one thing. Matters, anyone who disobeys me will be killed!"
At the end of the sentence, Li Ke was full of murderous intent, as if he had reappeared in the battle at Xiangji Temple.
If you don't accept it, kill him. If you kill him, his head will roll, and if you kill him, you will have peace for all eternity.
"I am not anyone's puppet, and anyone who wants to compete with me for something should better come out in person. If King Wei still wants to fight for the throne, you can come with me to the front line. He and I will each bring a Thousands of troops, let’s see who comes back first beheading the Turkic Khan.”
Li Ke looked coldly at everyone present, and his words were full of disdain for King Wei.
He's just a coward who wants to fight for his position but doesn't dare to show up in person.
Uncle Guo's face became extremely ugly in the court. He looked at Li Ke with anger flashing in his eyes. How dare this young man contradict him so boldly and even threaten him.
"Li Ke, do you know what you are talking about?"
Uncle Guo's tone was threatening.
Li Ke sneered, "Please call me King of Shu, or king! Of course I know that you are just a person with a strong desire for power. All you want is the country of the Tang Dynasty, and what I want is It’s the whole world.”
The ministers in the court were stunned. They could not believe that this young man dared to challenge the authority of the uncle.
Uncle Guo's face became even more ugly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent when he looked at Li Ke.
"You!" Uncle Guo glared at Li Ke, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes, "How dare you speak so shamelessly!"
Li Ke smiled slightly, "I never joke, especially about power."
The atmosphere in the court instantly became tense, and everyone was shocked by Li Ke's words.
This young man, does he really want to challenge Datang's power?
Uncle Guo's expression changed several times. He looked at Li Ke with doubts and uneasiness in his eyes.
This young man, who is he?
There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, as if he saw something incredible in Li Ke.
Li Ke smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Guo, what are you thinking about?"
Uncle Guo came to his senses and looked at Li Ke, "Do you really dare to go to the front line?"
Li Ke nodded, "Of course."
"Okay!" Uncle Guo sneered, "You go to the front line. If you can cut off the head of the Turkic Khan and come back, then King Wei will withdraw."
He will definitely not let King Wei go to the front line, but not everyone is a bug like Li Ke, just like Li Shimin back then.
Li Shimin could be called General Tiance back then. To be honest, what he did was no different from Li Ke today.
Even worse.
But Uncle Guo didn't care about this. His purpose was just to protect his nephew, King Wei, who was also the object of his support.
"Okay, when I return from the front line, I hope everyone will not forget what I said here today."
Li Ke didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
If these noble clans can be resolved peacefully, Li Ke does not want unrest to arise. Unrest will only give opportunities to foreign tribes.
The court meeting ended so unhappy, and the promise Li Ke made at the court meeting shocked most people.
It is not an easy task to cut off the head of a Turkic Khan.
At the palace of King Wei.
The King of Wei and his uncle's party gathered together. The King of Wei said with some worry: "Then Li Ke, if this matter is really completed by then, will it be difficult for us to give up like this?"
At this time, the atmosphere in the meeting hall of Prince Wei's Mansion seemed particularly dull. The King of Wei was sitting on the main seat, his face was gloomy and his eyes were flickering. Uncle Guo and a group of confidants were beside him, and everyone's face was full of worry.
"Your Majesty," Uncle Guo broke the silence, "We must find a way to solve this situation now. Although Li Ke is arrogant, his strength and wisdom cannot be underestimated."
King Wei frowned slightly, "Of course I know that this Li Ke is troublesome, but he is the king of Shu conferred by my father, and we cannot directly conflict with him. Moreover, he dares to challenge openly in the court, so he obviously has something to rely on."
A flash of fierceness flashed in Uncle Guo's eyes, "Your Majesty, this Li Ke is too cunning. We can only stabilize him now and then look for opportunities."
King Wei pondered for a moment, "That's all we have to do. Go ahead and make arrangements. Make sure that Li Ke encounters some obstacles on his way to the front line."
The other side.
Wei Zheng and Li Ke were also sitting in the same carriage, and Wei Zheng said a little helplessly: "Your Highness, King of Shu, why do you make such a promise?"
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Ke also said with some interest: "Why, don't you believe that I can do this?"
"Not at all. I have actually heard of what you did. But if you do this, the risk is very high. What's more, if you fail to do it, wouldn't it be someone else's fault? This is not a good thing. ah."
