Chapter 411: Persist or Give Up

Li Qing naturally knew Xu Yuan’s thoughts, and he also knew the reason why they had such thoughts as their confidants.

Li Neng was less than thirty years old, in his prime and was a military general, so it was understandable that he personally arrived some time before he ascended the throne.

But Li Qing had just personally fought once before, and now there is not much time left. If he goes to the person in person, he will not talk about the real situation. In the eyes of the people, it must be that there is no one available in the Tang Dynasty, which will make the emperor go on the battles in person repeatedly.

In the eyes of Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun, this is not the case. Whether it is Nan Jiyun or Li Siye, they can raise an army at this time, and there are Lei Wanchun and Zhang Xun in the court who can go to war, which is definitely not a situation where no one can use it.

In fact, before this incident, Li Qing really planned to compete with Li Baochen and Pugu Huaien himself. However, after hearing Xu Yuan's question, he moved his heart and swallowed the words he had already said, and then said, "This matter has to be discussed for a long time. Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun, you two will go to rectify the troops first. This time we have to use the garrison in the suburbs of Chang'an."

Since Li Yan did not say that he must lead troops to the war, it naturally means that there is still room for maneuver in this matter. Neither Xu Yuan nor Zhang Xun said much, they all withdrew from the Tai Chi Palace after agreeing.

After everyone left, Li Yan went to the martial arts performance venue in Tai Chi Palace.

This was originally a place where he built martial arts for Feng Yi, but after the construction was completed, he came here almost every day to practice his marksmanship when he had free time.

In fact, Li Yan was afraid from the bottom of his heart that he had lost his ability to fight, although the emperor may no longer need that ability.

After arriving at the martial arts venue, Li Neng didn't say anything and just started to practice shooting skills.

He knew that his career as an emperor might have reached a crossroads. If he did not go out in person this time, he would definitely not go again in the future, and his military career might end there.

Li Neng was actually not prepared for this, whether it was his age, body or mentality.

For half an hour, Li Li didn't stop the spear in his hand, and some sweat gradually overflowed from his head.

Seeing that Li Qing had not come out in the martial arts venue for a long time, Feng Yi accompanied Zhang Mingyue, who was gradually becoming pregnant, to the sidelines. They did not disturb Li Qing, but looked at him quietly, waiting for the end of the exercise.

Feng Yi knew that Li Qing would practice marksmanship on weekdays, and sometimes he would practice against himself or Chen Zhibao, but his condition at those times was different from this time.

Finally, Li Neng put the long spear covered with sweat on the handle of the gun back on the weapon stand, and then he found the two people standing in the audience.

"Are you guys?"

"Your Majesty, isn't there anything wrong with you in the court? Although we are just women, we may not be able to help Your Majesty relieve your worries, but Your Majesty is not as good as burying these things in your heart. You can tell us and listen to them."

Feng Yi handed over a cup of thirst-quenching tea, and then said while wiping Li's sweat.

Li Qing sighed, then waved his hand, and took the two of them to sit in the pavilion next to the martial arts court.

"You said, I am only at this age, can't I really lead my troops to fight? It's not that I don't believe in the generals under my command, but that since I can go by myself, why can't I go?"

Only Li N's few confidants knew about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the governor. Even Zhang Mingyue and Feng Yi didn't understand. When they heard Li N's words say something about going to the war, they were shocked at first. When Li N's words were told whether he was personally fighting, the two understood what Li N's heart was upset.

Obviously, this is another scene where Li Neng wants to go to the battle himself, but was dissuaded by the people below.

Of course, if Li Yi really made up his mind to do something, no matter who he was, he would not be able to dissuade him. However, since Li Yi was bored because of this matter, it means that Li Yi really listened to the persuasion of the court officials below, but he was still in a struggle of thought.

Zhang Mingyue and Feng Yi looked at each other, and then Zhang Mingyue looked at Li Qing first.

"Your Majesty, you have not been a prince who cares about other people's opinions since you were in the palace of King Jianning. Although you were not as popular as King Guangping, you have never doubted your own thoughts and decisions. If it weren't for your enthusiasm, the position of emperor would probably not be yours today? Since this temperament has brought everything to Your Majesty, why didn't Your Majesty maintain this temperament?"

This was something Li Neng didn't expect. He knew that Zhang Mingyue had followed her for so many years and had experienced so many things together, so she must know her very well.

In such a situation, who can't hope that their men will be less dangerous and be by their side? Throughout history, dreams and personality are really worthless in front of these things.

But at this moment, Li Qing saw a different queen.

"My sister is right. His Majesty personally led his troops to Lingzhou in such a crisis, not to mention that he went there with preparation. It is natural that I am in the safety of Tai Chi Palace and Xingqing Palace. I will take care of my sister's pregnancy, not to mention that the Northern Imperial Guards are guarding Chang'an City. Your Majesty can go there with confidence!"

Feng Yi was as always encouraging Li Qing to go there, but she also had something different from before.

If this were the case before, she would have wanted to go with Li Qing without hesitation, but now, she doesn't want to follow her at all. She knows that the Tai Chi Palace needs someone like her, especially when Zhang Mingyue is pregnant.

After hearing the two of them, Li Qing felt a dark cloud on his head suddenly dissipated. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

After Li Yan left, Feng Yi said to Zhang Mingyue with some concern: "In this way, Your Majesty will go to the battle in person this time. Isn't you worried?"

"We have experienced too many life-and-death situations over the years. When we were in Fengxiang...ah! It would be fine if he didn't say it. If he wanted to say it in the future, he would naturally tell you. In short, this may not be considered a danger to him, right?"
