Sima Qiu was stunned. Will he give up the crown prince position to Li Tai?
How could this be?
Even if you want Xian, it's not Li Tai's turn. It should be his young master, the King of Shu.
When did this prince finally realize that he came up with such a trick?
We must not allow the Young Master to lay down his gun. This gun must be carried by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Sima Qiu rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "No, Your Highness, once you give up your position as Crown Prince, you will never get it back."
“This is definitely not about advancing before retreating, but rather quitting and then not even thinking about coming in.”
"Why did you say this, sir?"
"You are destroying your own prestige and encouraging others' arrogance..."
Li Chengqian frowned and felt a little angry. He was the eldest son, why couldn't he come in after he left?
At the moment, Li Ke was in the limelight and was already shitting and peeing on his prince's head. He was no match for Li Ke at all.
In the same way, Li Tai is also a sinister villain. He can see that the sixth among the sixth is worse than Li Ke.
One controls Longyou, and the other dominates the richest Jiangdong.
Now that he has given up the position of prince to Li Tai, Li Ke will definitely not be convinced. Even if Li Ke is convinced, his subordinates and the group of people standing on his side will definitely not be convinced.
These two dogs will definitely fight dog-eat-dog. When the time comes, they will both lose, and if they come back again, who can compete with them?
Seeing that Li Chengqian was unhappy, Sima Qiu quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that we are so poor now, and the only one on our side is the Changsun family."
"Moreover, the Changsun family has been targeted by the King of Shu several times. It has been severely damaged and there is not much power left."
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, both of them will suffer losses, and we are still no match."
"To be disrespectful, Your Majesty, please think about how your Majesty ended up in that position..."
"I deserve to die..." After Sima Qiu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground. His words would make his head fall off, so he had to kneel down.
Li Chengqian laughed so wildly that he burst into tears, and finally lay weakly on the chair.
"If I can't come back, I won't come back. I've had enough, I've had enough of this prince's position, I've had enough of my father's and mother's favoritism, I've had enough of the hypocrisy of you people."
"Only You Ning, only she treats me sincerely."
"Immediately send someone to tell Jiangdong that I am willing to step aside."
Sima Qiu sighed, it seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was crazy and stunned.
But this news must be passed on to the young master by Shiba, so that the young master can make plans in advance.
Once the prince really resigns his position as prince and gives the throne to Li Tai, the young master will be very passive. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Li Tai has been in the limelight in Jiangdong recently. He heard that many people at the court praised Li Tai for managing Jiangdong in an orderly manner. Local officials have written memorials to praise Li Tai's achievements.
In particular, after Li Tai arrived in Jiangdong, he eliminated several groups of water bandits, trained naval forces, built warships, and escorted Jiangdong merchants and aristocratic families.
He also established the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in Yangzhou, learned from the King of Shu, supported some businessmen to grow rapidly, and suppressed the Jiangdong family.
However, the big aristocratic families in Jiangdong also followed the leadership of the King of Shu, sold their local industries, and went to the northwest with cash to develop.
I heard that business in Jiangdong is very sluggish now because big businessmen have gone to the northwest to seek development.
Nowadays, Liangzhou City has become a hot spot for merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Even in places like Lanzhou and Shanzhou, there is an endless stream of caravans.
Sima Qiu was helpless. Fortunately, he was just a spy. If he really followed such a master, he would be pissed to death.
Therefore, he had no choice but to arrange for a trustworthy person to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's true words to Li Tai who was in Jiangdong.
Finally, two days passed.
Zhai Changsun led 3,000 cavalry and set out from Lanzhou, escorting more than 200 Tuyuhun prisoners and more than 500 carriages of treasures. After a month and a half, they finally arrived at the west gate of Chang'an.
Zhai Changsun may not be famous in history, and there is even very little recorded information, but he is one of the four leaders of the famous Xuanjia Army.
Zhai Changsun first followed Xue Ju to establish the Western Qin. After the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin conquered the Western Qin. Xue Ju was dead at that time, so he led his army to join Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also reused Zhai Changsun and promoted him to one of the leaders of the Xuanjia Army. Also leaders of the Xuanjia Army were Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde.
But all the soldiers in the Xuanjia Army were bandits from Wagang Village, and they did not obey Zhai Changsun's orders at all, and Zhai Changsun did not have a good relationship with the other three leaders.
The reason why Li Shimin did this was for the sake of balance, but it only hurt Zhai Changsun. This man was talented and brave, and was no weaker than Qin Qiong and others.
Even so, Zhai Changsun followed King Qin, conquered the east and west, and finally established the complete Tang Dynasty.
Before the Xuanwu Gate Coup, the Xuanjia Army was successfully disbanded under the calculations of Li Jiancheng and others. Some of them became the forbidden army in the palace, and some became the guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace.
Perhaps this was also Li Shimin's trick, because it was precisely because of these forbidden troops in the palace and guards outside the palace, the former Xuanjia Army, that they jointly defeated Li Jiancheng's three thousand elites and successfully put Li Shimin on the throne.
But in this most important coup, Zhai Changsun successfully missed it. When the army was disbanded, he chose to go to Yanmen Pass.
After Li Shimin's coup was successful, the Eastern Turks went south to Chang'an, but Zhai Changsun was defeated at Yanmen Pass, once again successfully missing the opportunity to be favored by Li Shimin.
In the following years, Li Jing led an army to conquer the Eastern Turks in the north. This time, Zhai Changsun finally cheated and followed Li Jing, attacking from the left and right, and went deep into Mobei to pursue Jieli Khan.
Finally, he became a general of You Xiaowei and commanded the troops of Yiwei.
This time I followed Li Jing on his expedition to Tuyuhun. During the charge, he was shot by an arrow from the enemy. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured and had to stay in Lanzhou to escort the prisoners.
However, he was much stronger than Xue Wanjun. He was not ambushed by the enemy and killed more than 5,000 cavalry.
That arrow was worth it.
However, he was very reluctant to escort the prisoner, even if the prisoner was Fuyun Khan. However, this was a fatal order from Li Jing, so he had no choice but to carry it out.
The most important thing is that Li Jing promised him that after sending the prisoners to Chang'an City, if a war broke out in the Western Region, he would let him continue to lead the troops.
"Shh..."
Zhai Changsun drove slowly and hurriedly, and it still took him more than a month. The main reason was that these prison cars were too slow.
He pulled the reins of the war horse and looked at the Chang'an City in front of him. He finally arrived.
In front of the West City Gate, Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, led their respective members to look forward to it and waited here for a full hour.
After Prince Li Chengqian rested for two days, the injury on his buttocks was finally better, but it still hurt to walk.
He sat in the carriage, waiting for the arrival of the men escorting the prisoners and gold.
He wanted to see how many treasures the third child had snatched.
"Your Highness, all the captives and gold from Tuyuhun have arrived." Sima Qiu whispered outside the carriage.
"Here, help me get out of the car."
Although they were prisoners, Li Shimin still allowed the prince to receive them, giving these prisoners enough face, and also to show the generosity of his Khan.
After all, these little cuties like Tuyuhun were once vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.
There is another meaning, which is to stimulate Li Chengqian and see how many prisoners he has captured and how much gold he has robbed.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, and Liu Zheng, the Minister of Husbandry, also came to meet the prince, and they immediately bowed and saluted.
"Two adults, no courtesy!"
Zhai Changsun saw the prince and the two ministers from a distance. He quickly dismounted his horse, stepped forward and bowed: "General Zhai Changsun, I have met your highness the prince and these two gentlemen."
When he sees the recipient, his mission is completed.
"General Zhai has worked hard all the way. Now I will accept it from the two ministers. General, please take the soldiers into the city to rest."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Then, Zhai Changsun took out the handover list and account books.
"There are thirty-six members of the Tuyuhun royal family, fifty-four officials, and one hundred and fifty-one generals, including Fuyun Khan and Fuyun's eldest son."
Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, took the list and looked at the long list of prisoners in the carriage. Especially when he saw the disheveled Fuyun Khan, he couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, he was the living king of hell, and he took action and killed the entire royal family and officials of the entire country.
The King of Shu is awesome.
Even when Li Jing swept across Mobei, he never captured so many prisoners!
