"In my opinion, it is better to let the King of Shu who is on the front line be responsible for sending envoys. He actually has control over all aspects of things on the front line. We can even let the King of Shu go on the mission in person. To prevent war from continuing again."
When everyone was silent, a Qipin Yanguan from Yushitai suddenly stood up and suggested to Li Shimin.
The official's name was Li Chun, and he was considered a member of King Wei's line. Taking this opportunity, he obviously wanted to let Li Ke go deep into danger.
When Wei Zheng heard Li Chun's words, he frowned and said, "You have bad intentions. As the leader of the front line, how could the King of Shu stoop to serve as an envoy? Moreover, he has a life-and-death hatred with all the tribes in the grassland. How could he let him Your Highness, King of Shu, is going?"
"What Prime Minister Wei Zheng said is absolutely true. Li Chun, as a mediator, your proposal does not take into account the frontline war at all. You just want to frame His Highness the King of Shu. Your heart is to be punished."
Xu Shiji also stood up at this time and defended Li Ke.
His words made Li Chun's face become extremely ugly.
Seeing that the wind in the court was going in the wrong direction, Li Chun immediately pointed his finger in another direction.
"This mission is no small matter. If we can really make the tribes on the grassland surrender at the minimum cost, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people. However, the envoys sent out must be strong enough and have enough ability. Courage and wisdom prevent people from doing harm easily.”
Li Chun's words immediately received support from many people.
In their opinion, although Li Chun wanted to frame Li Ke, what he said was also for the sake of Datang.
However, they didn't know that Li Chun completely wanted to take this opportunity to kill Li Ke.
"Then who do you think is up to the task?"
Li Shimin took the words at this time and asked.
In his view, this mission was of great importance and beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
Moreover, he didn't want his son to take risks.
"The best candidate is not the King of Shu. Although the King of Shu has a life-and-death feud with the tribes on the grassland, this is also a benefit. The people of the grassland tribes are afraid of His Highness the King of Shu. Letting the King of Shu go to discuss it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. This is what Wei Chen said from the bottom of his heart."
Li Chun opened his mouth again and said, still obsessed with Li Ke.
Li Chun's words really silenced everyone in the court.
No one is willing to let King Shu take risks, but they can't find a more suitable candidate than King Shu.
Wei Zheng spoke again at this time, "Your Majesty, I think that Princess Pingyang can be responsible for this mission."
"Princess Pingyang?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, Pingyang is a princess. This mission is full of dangers, and Pingyang must not be allowed to take risks."
"But apart from King Shu and Princess Pingyang, Wei Chen really can't find a more suitable candidate."
Wei Zheng expressed his helplessness.
Of course, he didn't want anything to happen to King Shu or Princess Pingyang, but this mission was of great importance and ordinary people must not be allowed to go.
And besides King Shu and Princess Pingyang, he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate.
"Then put this matter aside for now and think of other ways."
Li Shimin made a decision immediately.
This decision also made everyone in the court breathe a sigh of relief.
They didn't really want the King of Shu to take risks, they were just led into the situation by Li Chun's words.
...
After retiring from the court, Wei Zheng appeared outside Princess Pingyang's residence.
This time, he didn't go in.
Because Changsun Chong had already arrived at Princess Pingyang's mansion first, if he went in, Changsun Chong would definitely make a fuss about it.
"Master Wei, why are you here?"
When the general guarding the gate saw Wei Zheng, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"This king comes here to meet Princess Pingyang."
Wei Zheng stated his purpose.
"For the record, Mr. Wei, the princess is busy with family matters and may not be able to get away for the time being."
"In that case, I will go back and visit the princess another day."
Wei Zheng cupped his hands, then turned and left.
Although he kept saying that he wanted to see Princess Pingyang, he knew very well that Princess Pingyang would never see him.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry for this moment.
After Wei Zheng left, Changsun Chong followed him out of Princess Pingyang's mansion.
Looking at Wei Zheng's leaving figure, Changsun Chong showed a sneer on his lips.
He knew very well why Wei Zheng came here this time.
Unfortunately, Princess Pingyang did not see him.
After Wei Zheng returned to his mansion, he immediately wrote a letter and had it delivered to Lingyan Pavilion.
This was the first time he contacted Li Ke through letters.
In the past, he had always gone directly to Li Ke.
But this time, he felt it was necessary to tell Li Ke.
Moreover, Li Chun's proposal above the court also made Wei Zheng realize that the cancer of Li Chun must be eradicated as soon as possible.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment after receiving Wei Zheng's letter.
He didn't expect that Li Chun would make such a suggestion in the court.
It seemed that Li Chun was already in a hurry.
Once the matter of this mission is confirmed, and if he still serves as the envoy, the risk factor will be really high. After all, during this mission, Li Ke killed many important people in the grassland.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Ke's mouth.
Li Chun, the more you want to kill me, the more likely you will die in my hands.
"Report!"
At this moment, a guard came in.
"Your Highness Ke, there is news from Lingyan Pavilion."
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what was going on.
He took the letter and glanced at it hastily.
Wei Zheng told Li Ke in the letter that he had been recommended as the envoy for the mission, and that this mission was of great importance. Li Ke must be careful and make absolutely no mistakes.
At the end of the letter, Wei Zheng also told Li Ke that he had arranged secret guards to protect Li Ke's safety.
After Li Ke read the letter, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Wei Zheng is really concerned about this matter.
With the secret guards arranged by Wei Zheng by his side to protect his safety, Li Ke would not have any worries.
Moreover, although this mission is dangerous, it is also a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
He would never let this opportunity go easily.
The other side.
After Changsun rushed back to the mansion, he immediately told his father everything that happened in the court today.
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment.
Of course he didn't want Li Ke to take risks.
"Father, do you think His Majesty will send the King of Shu to be the envoy this time?"
Changsun Chong asked at this time.
He knew very well that his father and Wei Zheng had the same idea, and they both wanted Li Ke to serve as the envoy this time.
But equally, they don't want Li Ke to take risks.
"It's hard to say."
