Chapter 47 [Reversal]

Li Chengqian recounted what happened that year one by one.

That year, he left the capital and inspected the nine provinces of the world on behalf of Emperor Qing, and had been to the southwest Gobi Desert.

Because of some things, I will have grudge against Tianya.

Now, this group of people rebelled, declared independence, and named their country Qian, which was clearly intended for revenge.

The second prince listened to Li Chengqian's explanation throughout, but didn't take it seriously.

That's it?

That's it?

Your Majesty will believe you with such a poor excuse?

The second prince was full of disdain for this.

This excuse sounds like it was just made up.

Not even a little bit of heart.

If you say that you have been prepared, it is logical, reasonable, and coherent.

That can be explained.

But the prince's reason sounded perfunctory.

In fact, when I was making it up, I didn't put my heart into it at all.

Maybe it was made up on the spot when he entered the hall. Who knows.

After listening to his narration, the Second Prince lowered his head but couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Even the dog shook his head when he heard such a lame excuse.

Anyway, he didn't believe a word of it.

Because it is too perfunctory.

It is difficult to even draw a circle with all the words together.

Self-consistent and cannot be done.

Just based on this, he wants to turn things around?

Just want to save yourself?

The second prince couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It seems that the prince also knows that this is a situation where he is bound to die.

So, he simply gave up.

Emperor Qing is suspicious by nature, and the facts are before his eyes, so no matter how sufficient the reasons and explanations are, they cannot eliminate his murderous intent.

What's more, it's such a lame excuse.

If a three-year-old child heard this, he would scold him.

Could you be a little more perfunctory?

"Oh, I see. Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter next?" asked Emperor Qing.

and many more!

wait!
The second prince looked up suddenly.

Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?
Do you believe what he said?

No!
No!
You believe such a lame and perfunctory excuse?

The second prince's eyes widened.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Wait a minute, let me sort out my thoughts.

Could it be that he missed something?

What happened to you being suspicious by nature?

What about the promised kill?
What happened to the zero tolerance policy towards rebellion?

Your Majesty, listen to me, you may not be awake yet!
At this moment, the Second Prince felt as if a thousand horses were galloping in his heart.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Clearly the reasons were perfunctory, clearly it was a dead end, clearly...

So, where is the problem, can you give me some hint?

He is now confused.

I felt even more confused.

Emperor Qing's indifferent words simply made the Second Prince confused.

Your Majesty, where is your wisdom?

It's such a perfunctory excuse, can't you hear it?

Not right either.

At this time, shouldn’t we kill him first?

You haven't woken up yet.

If so, let me smear you in the face to wake you up.

In his entire life, the Second Prince had never been so shocked and speechless as he was today.

Eat a pound!
“Your Majesty, to prove my innocence, I am willing to personally lead the army and flatten the Gobi Desert in the southwest.

Moreover, a military order was signed for this purpose. If the Tianya Society cannot be destroyed, the position of the Eastern Palace will be relinquished."

Li Chengqian bowed.

The second prince knelt on the ground, feeling some pain in his knees, but he did not dare to stand up.

The prince was allowed to see the emperor without kneeling, which was a special privilege, but he did not have such an honor.

"You don't have to leave the capital. The court in the capital has many things to do. As the crown prince, you cannot leave the capital."

Emperor Qing rejected his proposal.

Li Chengqian had anticipated this. Emperor Qing was worried that he would go into the sea and never come back.

"Your Majesty, the Tianya Society is just a small organization. We just need to send a team of people to wipe them out. That's all." Li Chengqian said again.

"Just the Tianya Society?" Emperor Qing glanced at him.

"The southwest Gobi Desert is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Tianya Society has 50,000 men, all of whom are cruel and murderous.

The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion many times, but all failed.

Who do you think should be sent to lead the army to encircle and suppress the rebellion?
Moreover, Northern Qi is becoming increasingly powerful and we must be on guard. Qing has no troops left to mobilize.”

Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian with a calm expression.

This is the intention to completely pass this difficult problem to him.

This is not what we agreed upon before.

This old fox suddenly changed his mind.

Don't talk about martial ethics.

This is another test!

A test of the prince's ability.

It is also a test for the future crown prince.

Emperor Qing has always been looking for opportunities to train Li Chengqian and make him a qualified crown prince.

Including the second prince, he was just a whetstone prepared for him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to mobilize the army. Six generals of the Eastern Palace and six thousand troops will be enough." Li Chengqian bowed.

Emperor Qing: "..."

Second Prince: "..."

Both of them doubted their ears.

Are you kidding me?
The Sixth Rate of the Eastern Palace?

That was only six thousand people, and three thousand of them were women.

Six thousand against fifty thousand, how can we win?

The southwestern Gobi Desert is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even an army of 100,000 may not be able to capture it.

The East Palace has six generals and six thousand troops, but I'm afraid it's not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

"Your Majesty, I would like to issue a military order!" Li Chengqian said again.

"Your Highness, have you lost your mind?" The Second Prince finally lost his patience.

However, he spoke at this moment deliberately to provoke Li Chengqian.

The purpose was to encourage him to issue a military order.

Because, six thousand versus fifty thousand, hey...

By then, the military order will be as firm as a mountain. The prince has said before that if he cannot conquer the southwest Gobi Desert and destroy the Tianya Society, he will give up the position of the Eastern Palace.

Naturally, the Second Prince would be very happy to see this.

Emperor Qing had already put down the memorial in his hand and stared at Li Chengqian for a long time, then waved slightly.

"Okay, I'm sure!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked calm, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The second prince lowered his head, but a hint of ecstasy flashed across his face.

This is where the light finally shines!

I thought the prince could escape, but he ended up committing suicide.

Although he didn't know why Emperor Qing believed Li Chengqian's lame excuse.

However, now that the military order has been issued, there is no room for maneuver.

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

Walking out of the imperial study, Li Chengqian stretched and yawned.

The second prince kept frowning, he was still thinking about what Li Chengqian had just said.

I don't understand why His Majesty would trust such a lame excuse.

Logically speaking, the prince would not survive this deadly situation tonight.

But who knew it could be resolved so easily.

No matter how you think about it, it's unbelievable.

Isn't Your Majesty suspicious by nature? Why do you believe the prince at this time?
The second prince was racking his hair as he pondered over the issue.

When I looked at the palm of my hand, I found that I was losing hair.

The second prince turned around and looked towards the imperial study.

He always felt that something was strange.

An unsolvable and fatal situation was solved so easily?
To do this, he paid a huge price.

How could it be cracked like this?

It's really incredible.

"Thank you!" Prince Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Thank me for what?" The second prince frowned.

"Thank you for pleading with His Majesty just now. His Majesty is now able to see clearly." Li Chengqian said.

Hearing this, the second prince looked unhappy.

This is heartbreaking.

Don't hit people in the face, don't say anything that hurts their hearts, and you are both.
