Chapter 118 Wei Shuyu Seeks Help
Several people were whispering behind a load-bearing pillar, while others on the other side were also busy...
"Father."
Li Ke bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Songtsen Gampo has so provoked our Great Tang. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to go to war."
Li Shimin nodded approvingly.
I greatly admire Li Ke's willingness to volunteer.
but……
Li Yuan wouldn't budge, so I dared not respond.
What if his brain disease flares up again and he causes some trouble? What will become of the Tang Dynasty's reputation?
"We'll see what your imperial grandfather has to say later," Li Shimin waved his hand.
“Father, Wei Shuyu may be talented, but he is young and has no experience in managing subordinates,” Li Ke volunteered again.
etc……
Li Shimin suddenly woke up!
It seems that Songtsen Gampo was talking about the way of the emperor in the contest.
The Way of the Emperor...
Grass!
I got scammed!
Who can talk about the way of the emperor?
Only emperors!
Among the younger generation, only the Crown Prince has this qualification!
Li Ke and Li Tai are unable to participate in the battle...
They lost, and the Tang Dynasty lost all face.
If they win, the struggle for the throne in the Tang Dynasty will quickly intensify!
What a fine Songtsen Gampo!
This guy is sure he can't beat you, Gaoming!
Starting with the planning in Changle, each step was meticulously linked, thus establishing the foundation for the Tang Dynasty...
Regardless of victory or defeat, the Tang Dynasty will pay the price!
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, his eyes already flashing with danger.
Li Ke's heart skipped a beat.
"Father, I am only thinking of the Tang Dynasty."
As if sensing the change in Li Shimin's eyes, Li Ke quickly changed his words.
"You may leave now."
Li Shimin waved his hand and turned to look at Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming, do you want to go into battle?"
"I leave everything to Father Emperor's decision!" Li Chengqian bowed.
waste.
The dignified Crown Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty has no backbone or courage whatsoever!
Li Shimin cursed under his breath.
However, he also knew Li Chengqian's true capabilities.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that with Li Yuan's interference, it would be best for Wei Shuyu to go into battle.
If we win, there won't be a struggle for the throne.
Even if they lost, the Tang Dynasty would have an excuse to act shamelessly.
“Xuancheng”.
Li Shimin shouted and gave a wink.
Wei Zheng also frowned.
He understood Li Shimin's meaning: he wanted Shuyu to go into battle.
But he knew even better the consequences of the fight!
Regardless of the outcome, Wei Shuyu will be thrust into the spotlight.
"Xuan Cheng!"
Li Shimin urged again.
There was no other choice.
Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin wanted Shuyu to go to war.
As a subject, he was powerless to stop it!
With his heart set on the Tang Dynasty, he had no excuse to stop it!
But as a father...
He also had to think about his son!
"Your Majesty, I cannot make the decision for Shuyu on whether to accept the challenge."
"He has grown up."
“In the imperial court, we are colleagues, and I cannot use my father’s name to order him around.”
Wei Zheng bowed.
He rejected Li Shimin's proposal.
At the same time, behind the load-bearing column.
"Are you going to fight or not?!"
Li Yuan grabbed Choi Sin-ki's ear with one hand and Fang Yi-ai's cheek with the other...
"Waaah..."
Choi Shin-ki and Fang Yi-ai struggled: "Supreme Lord Fang, you let the big pot fight, why are you dragging us into this?"
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan gave a low shout, twisted his hand, and only the two people's wails remained.
"..."
Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless: "We really can't go into battle."
"I told you, as long as you win, just pin the credit on me."
Losing it is not an option...
Li Shimin wasn't blind.
"Grandfather, don't look for him, I'll handle it."
Just then, Li Lizhi stepped forward.
Well……
This wave of volunteering completely baffled Li Yuan.
Before Li Yuan could react, Li Lizhi walked briskly to Songtsen Gampo.
She took a deep breath: "Song...Songtsen Gampo, I'll compete with you!"
"you?"
Songtsen Gampo revealed a roguish smile: "Sorry, I think even if I agree, your father won't."
“I am also a member of the royal family,” Li Lizhi stubbornly argued.
"Um."
Songtsen Gampo nodded: "Why don't you ask your father first?"
After saying this, Songtsen Gampo closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He had previously expressed his admiration for Princess Chang Le, but now he wouldn't even glance at her.
"Father..."
Li Lizhi clenched her teeth and turned to look at Li Shimin.
"Nonsense!"
Li Shimin shouted sternly, "This is a matter of national importance, how can you act willfully? Get out of here!"
"Father..."
"Step back!"
Under Li Shimin's repeated rebukes, Li Lizhi could only retreat in humiliation.
"Wei Shuyu!"
Seeing that Wei Shuyu was hesitant to accept the challenge, Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
Looks like we have no choice but to use our ultimate move!
Summon Wang De and whisper a few words in his ear.
Wang De understood.
Then she ran to Wei Zheng's ear and whispered a few words...
Wei Zheng's eyes immediately lit up!
He gave Li Shimin a reassuring look: Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely persuade Shuyu!
He strode confidently to the load-bearing pillar...
"Shuyu".
Wei Zheng said sternly, "You will be the one to face this challenge!"
Huh?
"Father, are you alright?" Wei Shuyu asked back.
"You bastard!"
Wei Zheng shouted loudly.
You dare say I'm crazy? Are you just complaining that the rattan cane in my house hasn't been used in a long time?
"This is His Majesty's oral decree."
Wei Zheng spoke with righteous indignation.
Then he leaned closer to Wei Shuyu and whispered, "As long as you go into battle, not only will you get the position of Censor, but also..."
"His Majesty also promised to marry Princess Gaoyang to our Wei family!"
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Wei Shuyu and Fang Yi'ai roared in unison!
"How about that? Surprised?"
"I promised to marry you a princess, and I will definitely do it!"
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Marrying the princess is like having an extra immunity from death, so there won't be many worries in the competition.
Is this a surprise?
That's fucking shocking...
“No, Father, I will not marry a princess!” Wei Shuyu shook his head repeatedly.
Fang Yi'ai was deeply moved and wanted to give Wei Shuyu a big hug: "Brother, you understand me."
Why?
Wei Zheng looked displeased.
“Anyway, I won’t marry a princess.” Wei Shuyu shook his head repeatedly.
"His Majesty has already issued an imperial edict."
"Then tell His Majesty to rescind his order!"
"..."
What do you take His Majesty for?
Can you just retract your order like that?
"Shuyu..."
Wei Zheng switched to Tang Sanzang mode and launched into a long, rambling lecture.
"Father, please stop talking..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Wei Shuyu finally exploded: "In short, if you make His Majesty retract his name, I will accept the challenge!"
"..."
Wei Zheng was completely bewildered.
"Princess Bu Shang, you cannot go to war!"
Wei Zheng shook his head.
Without the princess as a get-out-of-jail-free card, going into battle would only sow the seeds of disaster for the Wei family.
"Father, don't worry, I have a way to keep the Wei family out of this!"
Um?
Wei Zheng glanced at him suspiciously.
In the end, they chose to respect their son's opinion.
"What? You don't want Princess Shang?"
Upon hearing this news, Li Shimin's expression shifted in a complex and unpredictable manner.
Should I be happy or disappointed?
"Your Majesty, thanks to the Emperor Emeritus's trust, I am willing to volunteer for battle!"
Wei Shuyu arrived at the front of the hall and bowed in homage to Li Shimin.
"allow!"
“Your Majesty, I am young and wish to find an assistant,” Wei Shuyu said again.
"this……"
Li Shimin looked at Songtsen Gampo.
"no."
Songtsen Gampo refused.
The Tang Dynasty was rich in talented people.
He was confident in facing a group of younger people.
But even he was intimidated by cunning old foxes like Kong Yingda and Wei Zheng.
The Tang Dynasty's strength was largely due to Li Shimin's policy of recruiting talented individuals.
"I'm only eleven years old. Surely Songtsen Gampo wouldn't want to be labeled as someone who bullies the young?"
Upon hearing this, Songtsen Gampo fell into deep thought.
He was seventeen years old, and Wei Shuyu was eleven.
If they are both adults, a six-year age difference is not a problem.
But Wei Shuyu was just a little kid.
This will leave behind dirt and grime.
"Who are you looking for..." Songtsen Gampo asked.
"Don't worry, I won't make you feel like it's unfair..."
Wei Shuyu grinned and said, "She's just a ten-year-old girl."
"If we count by your full age, you're sixteen..."
"We're only nineteen years old combined."
"Isn't that fair?"
"If you feel this is unfair, I can step aside and let you fight her one-on-one!"
"I just don't know if you're willing to lose face like this?"
"I'm only participating because I care about you!"
