Good things do not go out, bad things go a long way.

The news of the prince's broken leg spread like wildfire, like the cold winter wind, quietly sweeping through every street and alley of the imperial city.

Even Beidaying, far away from Chang'an City, heard some turbulence.

Sitting in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army, Tang Hao listened to the news from Wu Tong, looked at Cheng Chumo on the side of the Tent, and said.

"What do you think?"

Cheng Chu silently frowned, meditated for a moment, said.

"The prince's broken leg, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe..."

Said that Cheng Chumo did not go down.

Tang Hao looked solemn, staring at Cheng Chumo, and said slowly.

"In my opinion, this time is not a coincidence, but a long-planned action."

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo suddenly raised his head, a pair of eyes flashed with astonishment, said.

"What Brother Tang said was a dispute between the crown prince?"

Tang Hao slowly stood up, rested his chin in his hands, and started walking in the big tent.

a long time.

Tang Hao stopped, looked at Cheng Chumo, and said slowly.

"Now that the queen has a funeral, the harem has no owner, and those concubines and princes are just about to be moved."

After that, Tang Hao patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder.

"Okay, I'll wait for the courtiers to stop mentioning the battles in the royal family."

"The dispute between the prince and the prince has to be guarded, so let's train with peace of mind."

"Perhaps, this team will come in handy."

...

Tai Chi Hall.

A country cannot be without an owner.

King Tang, who had been silent for several days, is now sitting on the high dragon seat again.

The story of the crown prince falling from a horse and breaking his leg has been rumored throughout the city.

On the bright side, the ministers did not dare to discuss the court guidelines privately, but in private, they inevitably discussed the matter of the crown prince.

From beginning to end, Tang Wang never expressed his opinion.

However, today's court hall looks different.

With three beatings of war drums, Hou Junji, a general guarding the borders of the Western Regions, returned to the court as scheduled.

Under the attention of the public, Hou Junji dressed in silver armor, standing majestic in the Tai Chi Hall.

The strong and vigorous voice resounded throughout the Great Hall.

"Final, I have seen your Majesty!"

King Tang on the dragon chair looked at Hou Junji in the hall, showing a long-lost smile, said.

"Chen Guogong, you have guarded the southwest border for me for many years, and you have worked hard."

Hou Junji's eyes are piercing, his head is slightly lowered, and his respectful cupped hands said.

"Everything, for Datang."

His words are earnest and sonorous.

Don Juan was also infected by the loyalty of serving the country, his eyes were a little bit more relieved, and he slowly said.

"This time, has the southwestern land been stable? Is there any change in Tubo?"

After hearing these questions, Hou Junji raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty! There has been no change in the southwest."

"In recent days, I will hear that a letter from the envoy who visited the Tang Dynasty was passed on to Tubo, which caused a lot of commotion in Tubo."

"There seems to be signs of conquest."

As soon as the voice fell, the officials were slightly surprised.

Counting time, the Tubo envoy has not yet returned to the country, but Kuaima is very likely to pass the news of the sudden death of the Tubo prince back to the Tubo country.

Is this the Tubo prime minister deliberately planting this matter and provoking a war between the two countries?

Sitting high, Wang Wang gradually reduced his smile, and said with a cold snort.

"Is this Tubo going to attack my Datang?"

Hou Junji in the hall pondered for a moment, and said slowly.

"In the opinion of the ministers, Tubo is not well-fed, and dare not send troops to the Tang Dynasty."

"Today's Tuyuhun has re-emerged rights disputes in the country, and the whole country is in chaos."

"The final guess is that Tubo is likely to use troops against Tuyuhun."

Hearing this, Tang Wang was furious, slapped his palm on the case table in front of him, and shouted.

"He dare!"

"Tuyuhun belongs to the Tang dynasty, everyone knows it!"

"What is the difference between Songtsen Gampo's dispatch of troops to Tuyuhun and the dispatch of troops from Tang Dynasty?"

But as the king of Tang said.

During the eight to ten years of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Li Junxian, Hou Junji and other generals fought for several years and defeated Tuyuhun.

The king of Tang Nian Tuyuhun was beheaded, and his kingdom was restored. He established Nuohubo as the king of Heyuan County, and Wudi also pulled the Qindou Khan.

At this point, this small country has become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.

Above the court, I was shocked by the sudden news, and many ministers also started talking.

"This Tubo thief, on the one hand sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, he acted on the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it is really Damn it!"

"The land in the southwest border is the most expansive and powerful territory of Tubo. The wolf's ambition is obvious."

"If Tubo will not fight, it will be difficult to quell other people's grievances in the Southwest. It is better to remove these scourges as soon as possible!"

There was noisy discussion at the court, but in general, the ministers tended to attack Tubo.

War means military merit!

How can Hou Junji miss it because the guards have their own abilities.

Think of it here.

Hou Junji stepped forward, half kneeling on the ground, cupped hands said.

"Your Majesty! The final general is willing to take orders and lead the southwest army guarding the border to take Tubo in one fell swoop!"

Seeing this greedy and eager military commander, a strange thing flashed in Wang Wang's eyes.

Hou Junji had fought in the Southwest Station before, and then guarded the Southwest Station.

The influence of prestige in the military can be imagined.

The general is outside, holding a heavy soldier in his hand, sitting on the side, is the one thing that the emperor fears most.

Unlike other guard generals, it was Niu Jinda who replaced Hou Junji and returned to the court.

These two are partners of life and death, and have experienced many wars together.

If this army guarding the southwest had two hearts, it would be a disaster for Datang.
