Chapter 1094: Peace Depends on Peace
"Of course I can't say yes!"
Wu Zhi, Cui Geng's only adviser now, immediately objected after hearing about this incident.
His reason was: It turned out that the safety of Cui Geng and Li Chongfu could be guaranteed, because with Cui Geng and Li Chongfu's army, presumably Li Dan would not easily kill Empress Wei and scatter.
However, if Cui Riyong's conditions are agreed, Cui Geng's safety will be greatly discounted. In exchange for it, all that can be exchanged is the reunion of Empress Wei and Li Bao'er.
In addition, there is another key: what about the 60,000 Yulin Army? These people are a very powerful military force, and Cui Geng will not dare to give up, and morally speaking, he will not be able to give up.
The families of these people are all in the vicinity of Chang'an, and after reaching an agreement, Li Dan will definitely not let them be stationed in Gyeonggi.
Moving to Weizhou? Slow to say that those who have left their hometowns are willing or not. These forbidden troops and their families numbered two or three hundred thousand people, and in ancient times, how easy was it for a population of this scale to migrate?
Besides, the Yulin Army is determined to fight against Li Dan and Li Longji with you, Cui Geng. It's good for you, for the sake of your mother-in-law, you have wiped out other people's homes, are you worthy of people?
To sum up, this condition is only slightly beneficial to Empress Wei. is extremely a follower of Cui Geng, but it is a big disadvantage.
On the surface, Li Dan has really done a benevolent and righteous job, and if you Cui Geng don't give people a huge handle, people don't dare to rest assured!
If Cui Geng refuses, it will be equivalent to refusing peace, disregarding the lives of the people in the world, and even the life and death of his mother-in-law, and greatly losing points in public opinion.
I have to say that Wang Ju's plan is poisonous enough.
Cui Geng couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to inform Cui Riyong and think about making a decision after three days.
On the second day, another lobbyist visited, but it was Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping.
Since the two had a skin-to-skin relationship, and Princess Taiping expressed her willingness to live and die with Cui Geng, the relationship between the two has risen sharply.
However, the first sentence she said surprised Cui Geng, and said, "Erlang, I want to be a peacemaker between you and the imperial brother." Cui Riyong's conditions, you agree. ”
"Not ......"
Cui Geng was puzzled: "You don't know how harsh this condition is, this time...... Why are you on Li Dan's side? ”
"Erlang, where do you want to go?" Princess Taiping gave him a blank look and said, "Between you and the imperial brother, I will definitely be on your side." It's just that now the relationship between you and the imperial brother is far from being incompatible. One is a lover, the other is a brother, I will make peace for you, why not? ”
"But that condition ......"
Princess Taiping said: "If I guessed correctly, one of Erlang's worries is that he is afraid that Li Longji will jump off the wall in a hurry and poison you." Second, the placement of the Yulin Army, right? ”
"You can say the same thing."
"That's right, look at this ......" As she spoke, Princess Taiping handed a Huang Aya Holy Decree to Cui Geng.
Cui Geng's face changed slightly, and he said, "What? You...... Are you a woman who is the general of Yulin? ”
"What's this?" Princess Taiping said disapprehantly: "Emperor Gaozu's Princess Pingyang once led an army to the battle." She's a princess, and I'm a princess, so why not? ”
"That's right. This...... It's a stroke of genius. ”
Cui Geng calmed down, and quickly thought about the beauty of Princess Taiping as the general of Yulin.
First of all, there is no need to let the Yulin Army leave their homeland. To be fair, Li Dan is really good to Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping also has some flesh and blood affection for this royal brother. It's not that there is no way, you can't kill your brother for your lover. Li Dan's safety is guaranteed, and he will not always worry about the Yulin Army rebelling.
Secondly, Princess Taiping is her lover~ person, Li Longji dares to take risks, and Princess Taiping can launch the Yulin Army to avenge herself.
As for in Li Dan? He had five sons, one of whom died, and Li Longji and four. When the time comes, it is possible to directly cut Li Longji and appease Princess Taiping. With Li Longji's cleverness, he would not be so unwise.
Cui Geng said happily: "Such a clever plan, it will not be Li Longji who came up with it, that guy is not so kind." Don't...... Is it Yue'er, your handiwork? ”
Princess Taiping raised her neck and said, "Hmph, I just paid you back your ...... Now that you've got benefits, you're called Yue'er? ”
"Hao Yue'er, wasn't your husband anxious just now?" Cui Geng knew that this topic was getting darker and darker, so he simply took this peerless ~ thing into his arms, and kneaded it vigorously: "I agreed to this condition!" That's it, let's or... Celebrate now? ”
Princess Taiping was paralyzed and said, "In short, it's all your fault." But I declare in advance that this condition was not proposed by the concubine, but by His Majesty who found me and took the initiative to put it forward. ”
"Your Majesty? Li Dan? Cui Geng's big hand stopped and said, "He has such a good heart?" ”
"Of course Your Majesty is not so kind." Princess Taiping sneered and said, "However, you don't just see the contradiction between yourself and Li Longji, and you can't see the contradiction between Your Majesty and Li Longji." ”
"The contradiction between the two of them?"
"Now there are five prime ministers in the imperial court. Liu Youqiu, Zhong Shaojing, Cui Riyong, Tang Xiu, and Li Longji. Tang Xiu didn't care about him when he was old, and the remaining four ...... Three are Li Longji's descendants, and one is Li Longji's own. In addition, the 10,000 cavalry horses guarding the palace were ostensibly commanded by Zhang Renyuan, but in fact, they were also in the hands of Li Longji's cronies. Even if you agree to Li Longji's conditions, he won't dare to let Yu Linjun go! ”
"In this way, Li Dan wants to rely on you to balance Li Longji's power?"
"It's not all." Princess Taiping said confidently, "When the two of us join forces, Li Longji will definitely regret leaving Erlang in Beijing." ”
Cui Geng listened to Princess Taiping's words and said, "Could it be ...... Yue'er has already thought of a future move, so that Li Longji will suffer a big loss? ”
