Chapter 66 Strange Dream

"Your son pays homage to the emperor!" Li Chengqian bowed to Li Er.

Li Er returned to Chang'an ahead of schedule, and his life as regent ended ahead of schedule. Everything would be handed back to Li Er.

"Da Lang! You did a great job during the time I was away from Chang'an. This way, I can go to conquer Liaodong with peace of mind." Li Er affirmed Li Chengqian's ability to govern the country during this period.

"These are what your son should do!" Li Chengqian said.

"Everyone! Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang of the Ministry of Agriculture has arrived!" A eunuch trotted in to report.

"Let him in!" Li Er said.

"Yes!" The eunuch took the order and withdrew, and went to summon Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang to enter the hall.

"Your servant, Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang, pays homage to Your Majesty! I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang bowed to Li Er and Li Chengqian.

"No need to be polite, just stand up!" Li Er said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang stood up and said.

"I ask you a question, you must answer truthfully! What is the current situation in Liaodong?" Li Er asked.

Li Er has always been concerned about the situation in Goguryeo in Liaodong. Although the crown prince said in his memorial that the current situation in Liaodong is not optimistic,

he still wants to listen to what Prime Minister Li Xuanjiang, the Minister of Agriculture, says about the specific situation in Liaodong. Prime

Minister Li Xuanjiang exaggerated the matter of this mission to Goguryeo to Li Er, especially Quan Gai Su Wen was described by him as arrogant as he could be.

Quan Gai Su Wen was a famous military dictator of Goguryeo. He was also called Yuan Gai Su Wen. In order to avoid Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the Tang Dynasty called him Quan Gai Su Wen.

"Every word I say is true. I dare not deceive your majesty in the slightest!"

Li Er did not expect that the situation in Liaodong was even worse than he expected.

"So, this Quan Gai Su Wen is actually an arrogant person who killed the king, bullied the ministers, abused the people, and was bold and reckless." Li Er said: "Chengqian, I wonder what you think about this matter."

"Quan Gai Su Wen is arrogant and now dares to disobey the will of the emperor! We have to attack Goguryeo. If we don't attack Goguryeo, the foreign countries will follow suit in the future."

"My son thinks that we should send troops to attack Goguryeo to scare those who have evil intentions!" Li

Chengqian said. "Very good! You agree with my idea! Let's discuss the matter of sending troops in court tomorrow. It's late at night, you should go back first." Li Er said. "

My son (minister) will take his leave!" Li Chengqian and Xiang Li Xuanjiang bowed and left.

"Everyone! It's late at night! You should go to bed early!" Wang Yuan stepped forward and whispered.

"I have been in a hurry these days and have not had much rest. I am indeed a little tired! Remember to wake me up for court tomorrow." Li Er yawned as he felt sleepy.

"Don't worry, everyone! I know what to do! Come, help everyone go to bed!" Wang Yuan bowed to Li Er and turned around to instruct the palace maids to help Li Er go to bed.

The palace maids stepped forward and divided the work. Some went to prepare the dragon bed, while others stepped forward to help Li Er undress and help him go to bed, and then retreated.

The night was pitch black tonight, and there was no moonlight.

Li Er fell asleep in his bedroom.

"Kill..."

"Your Majesty, run!"

The pursuers were approaching from behind, and the imperial guards hurriedly urged Li Er to flee, and they turned back to kill him, so that His Majesty Li Er could escape to buy time.

At this time, Li Er was so scared that his soul was about to fly away. He had no time to say anything, and hurriedly rode away.

The pursuers had arrived behind him and fought with the imperial guards. One enemy soldier knocked down two imperial guards, and took advantage of the gap to ride his horse and chase Li Er away.

Li Er heard the sound of horse hooves from behind him, and hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a man chasing him from behind, wearing a black helmet and iron armor, with a green face and fangs, holding two swords, and flying towards him to take his life!

The man shouted loudly behind Li Er, and although Li Er did not understand Goguryeo, he knew that the enemy wanted him to dismount and die.

Li Er was panicked! He dared not stop, so he had to whip the horse desperately with the whip. The horse ran with all its strength despite the pain. The enemy

behind was still chasing him! In panic, Li Er kept shouting: "Help!"

But he found that no one could answer him.

"Your Majesty! Don't panic! I'm here to rescue you!"

Just when he was about to be attacked by the green-faced, fang-toothed double-knife general behind him, another general suddenly rushed out from the left. Li Er looked up.

This man had a white general on his head, a white silk battle robe on his body, sat on a white horse, and held a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and attacked the green-faced, fang-toothed double-knife general.

The two fought for less than three or four rounds, and the young general in white robe stabbed the green-faced, fang-toothed double-knife general to death with a halberd. Li Er was overjoyed when he saw this! He

hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Young general, don't leave! You saved me today. When I return to the Tang Dynasty, I will reward you well."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have important things to do and it is inconvenient for me to follow Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!" The young general in white robe stopped talking and reined in his horse to leave.

Li Er hurriedly stopped him and said: "I don't know what your name is, young general? Where do you live? I will send an envoy to summon you to the capital to be promoted in the future."

The young general in white robe did not say much else, but left four lines of poetry: "My home is a distant red dot, floating around without a trace. A three-year-old child is worth a thousand taels, protecting the master across the sea and pacifying the east and west!"

As soon as the young general in white robe finished speaking, a giant dragon appeared at the end of the sky, opened its mouth, and rode the young general in white robe into the dragon's mouth and disappeared.

"Ah..."

With a cry of surprise, Emperor Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon couch, woke up from his sleep and realized that everything was just a dream.

"Everyone! What happened to you?" The eunuch who was standing by heard the noise and hurried over, asked carefully, and asked someone to go to the side hall to call Wang Yuan.

"It's okay! I just had a strange dream, there's no need to be so surprised!" Li Er said.

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Wang Yuan, who got the news, hurried over.

"Everyone!" Wang Yuan saw that Li Er was sitting on the dragon couch without any problem, and his hanging heart finally let go.

"What time is it now?" Li Er asked, looking outside the bedroom.

"It's almost time to go to court!" Wang Yuan said.

"Oh!" Li Er stretched out his hand and said, "Help me up and change my clothes, so that I can go to court!"

"Yes!" Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Er's hand, and ordered his attendants, "Hurry up and help everyone change their clothes and wash up, so that they can go to court. Move quickly."

The maid hurried forward, brought water for Li Er to wash his face, put the towel in the basin to wet it, picked it up and squeezed it dry, and handed it to Li Er. After Li Er wiped his face, he wiped his hands and handed the towel back to the maid.

Li Er stood in front of the bronze mirror and let the maid put on the dragon robe for him, put on the dragon crown, and tied a jade belt around his waist.

"Dong..." After he was dressed, the drum sounded outside, and the ministers had already gone to the Taiji Hall.

"Let's go! Go to court!" Li Er said, waving his sleeves, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Get up and go to court!" Wang Yuan immediately shouted loudly outside the bedroom.

The ceremonial guards, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately became alert and carried Li Er to the Taiji Hall.
