Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2548 Chang'an in the rain
At the corner of the long street, several carriages appeared in the wind and rain, either continued to move forward slowly, or stood still. All the curtains of the carriages opened a gap, quietly watching the scene in front of Zongzheng Temple. scene.

The doors and curtains of the carriage of Changsun's family were all open, and as long as one passed by, one could see Changsun Wuji lying on his back in the carriage, and Changsun Huan kneeling in front of the carriage, drenched in rain, his face ashen.

The curtains were lowered, the doors were closed, and the steward of Changsun's family ordered the driver to start the carriage and drive to the other end of the long street without even waiting for Changsun Huan to stand up and call for the fainted Changsun Wuji.

Only Changsun Huan was left kneeling on the bluestone pavement in the rain, his face was ashen and his eyes were dazed.

Carriages drove past Chang Sun Huan one after another, and behind the raised curtains were very familiar faces, but at this time, there was no trace of pity or sympathy, only endless contempt, ridicule, and sneer.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Changsun Huan seemed to have forgotten to stand up while kneeling there. Even though the rain was pouring on his body, his blood was almost frozen.

He understood that his life was over.

He was kicked off from the glory peak of the upcoming patriarch by his former father, and then fell into the abyss of eternal doom.

Even though he is still alive at this moment, he knows that in the future, he will be just a walking corpse. All the glory and dignitaries in the past, the lofty aspirations of Ling Yun and the lofty aspirations, will be completely annihilated in the 17th year of Zhenguan. in the autumn rain.

Heartbroken.

*****
At the corner of the street, the luxurious carriage without any family emblem was still standing there quietly. More than a dozen guards in coir raincoats and bamboo hats sat on the horses like javelins. Next, there was no more sound.

The luxurious carriage coming from the other side of the long street passed the gate of Zongzheng Temple, passed in front of the kneeling Changsun Huan, and then passed by the side of this four-wheeled carriage one after another, disappearing one by one. In the rain at the end of the street.

In the carriage, Li Junxian stretched his neck and looked at the elder Sun Huan who was still kneeling in the distance, and said, "Zhao Guogong... so cruel!"

He has well-developed limbs, but his brain is definitely not stupid. He may not have seen through the cleverness behind this series of changes before, but after repeated reprimands and instructions from His Majesty Li Er, how can he still not understand all of this at the moment? Is it a trap designed by Fang Jun?

It's just that Changsun Wuji, who was clearly in deep trouble, was about to be regarded as a traitor by the Guanlong nobles, but at the most critical moment, he broke his arms to survive.

The crisis of betrayal may be suppressed for a while. After all, there are too many interests involved in Guanlong, and it is not possible to split if it is split. .

Everyone could hear Changsun Wuji's yelling, but Changsun Huan was really greedy for life and afraid of death, betrayed all his allies and secretly stayed in Chang'an and came to Zongzheng Temple to surrender, hoping to save his life?
Everything is obvious, everyone knows it well, but probably no one will fall out with the eldest grandson's family at this time.

At least not now.

Just as the Guanlong nobles and the royal family are unwilling to start a conflict head-on with no room for change, the Guanlong nobles will willingly accept the "explanation" given to them by Changsun Wuji. Everyone has their own ghosts, but at least in the short term Time will not allow the "betrayal" incident to be exposed, prompting the Guanlong Group to completely split.

Of course, since everyone is well aware of this, the seeds of resentment have already been planted, and the crisis of division will still exist. In the future, when everyone feels that the eldest grandson's family can no longer provide generous benefits, this crisis will erupt again come out.

Waiting for the end of the Guanlong Group, the only option is to fall apart and seek their own future.

Therefore, Changsun Huan's sacrifice seems tragic. After all, this is the young Junyan who is most likely to take over the position of the Patriarch of the Changsun family. It is of great significance, because it cannot completely eliminate the existing cracks.

It's just to buy time for the eldest grandson Wuji and the nobles of Guanlong to continue to cooperate with each other...

Li Junxian was still contemplating, and His Majesty Li Er beside him had already tapped on the teapot, signaling for Li Junxian to continue boiling water, and said, "It's just to let the Guanlong Group survive for a while, but the auxiliary machine is willing to sacrifice the most for it." A qualified heir...why does he value such a period of time for the Guanlong Group to continue to cooperate, and what is he planning that is more important than his own heir?"

Li Junxian put the kettle on the stove, wishing he could give birth to two more hands so that he could cover his ears while boiling the water.

Your Majesty!
Why are you talking so much today?

You can just think about this kind of thing in your heart. After you have a plan, tell us to finish it. Why do you have to say it?
The more secrets you know, the faster you will die, let alone such a secret that is obviously likely to be treasonous?

Today's His Majesty is really too weird, completely different from his usual temperament, it is overwhelming...

While the water was burning, Li Junxian remonstrated: "Your Majesty, you have already seen everything you need to see. It's getting late. Why don't we go back to the palace now? After all, there are too few guards accompanying us. Very unpredictable."

However, His Majesty Li Er immediately showed him that today is really unusual. His blushing face was full of excitement, and he opened the wind and rain outside the window and said: "It's rare to go out of the palace once. The slanting wind and drizzle is cool and pleasant, and I am in a good mood. You might as well take a good turn around the streets and alleys, and let me appreciate the rare tranquility of Chang'an."

Li Junxian's face turned pale with fright. Standing on the long street in front of the Zongzheng Temple, he felt terrified. turn around?

I'm dying...

But in front of this talented and generous king, Li Junxian has always respected and feared him, how could he dare to refute?He had no choice but to order the coachman to drive forward, and more than a dozen elite "Hundred Riders" surrounded the carriage, keeping their eyes open all the time to watch for any signs of trouble, and if there was any danger, they would be killed.

The carriage swayed through the wind and rain, and the houses, shops, and square walls on both sides of the street were washed away by the rain, which was completely different from the luxurious capital city full of people and dust.

His Majesty Li Er was sipping tea and admiring the scenery of Chang'an in the rain. Seeing Li Junxian's nervous eyes staring at everything outside the car, he couldn't help but reprimanded him: "As a general, it's easy to have a general." Zhifeng, even in the midst of thousands of enemy troops, still has the heart of detachment towards death, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face! Now we are in Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, everywhere are my people, people Everyone is my supporter, so why be afraid of it?"

Li Junxian pursed his lips and didn't dare to refute, but he complained wildly in his heart!
Are you afraid that you have forgotten how you got this throne?Even though more than ten years have passed, there are still ministers in the court who have not forgotten the hidden prince Li Jiancheng. It is not uncommon to slander you during private banquets. A few daring desperadoes have appeared to assassinate the king. Is it surprising?

Unexpectedly, he was timid and dared not refute, but His Majesty Li Er refused to give up, glaring at him and said: "Why, you think I'm talking nonsense, and you don't say it, but you feel disdainful?"

Li Junxian convinced...

Your Majesty, did you forget to take your medicine today, or did you take the wrong medicine?
I had to reply: "It's not that the last general is cowardly. If the last general is alone, even if thousands of enemy troops lie in front of him, what is there to fear? The last general is nothing more than a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. He deserves to die. That's great too! But Your Majesty is the king of the Tang Dynasty, who is responsible for the safety of the empire, and the duty of the last general is to protect His Majesty, how dare you let His Majesty be in danger and be taken advantage of by thieves? Please forgive me."

He had the guts to say these words. Strictly speaking, he would be disrespectful, but after hearing this, His Majesty Li Er not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said: "This is how I feel like a tiger general. What is the promise of being obedient? In this regard, Fang Jun is better than you."

Li Junxian was silent.

That guy Fang Jun is indeed stronger than himself, if Fang Jun were here now, I'm afraid he would dare to tie you up and take you back to Tai Chi Palace...

Li Junxian's eyes froze suddenly when he said that gods can meet ghosts.

His Majesty Li Er followed his gaze, and his expression changed instantly!
