Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2958 Dilemma
"Zhuzi, how dare you bully me?"

His Majesty Li Er was furious, turned around and ran to the imperial study room on one side, Li Junxian hurriedly followed, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw His Majesty Li Er had returned from the imperial study room, holding a shining sword in his hand, He yelled at him: "Lead the way ahead, I'm going to kill this dog today!"

He just felt like his chest was about to explode.

motherfucker!

In the past, it was nothing more than some gossip, I turned my eyes and closed my eyes and didn't care about it, but now I dare to blatantly sleep with my Changle?Anyway, I have to be sneaky, otherwise where would I put my face... No!
It's not okay to be sneaky!

Li Junxian was sweating profusely, and quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

His Majesty Li Er didn't listen to his words at all. When he saw that he dared to stand in front of him, he immediately raised his sword, pointed the tip of the sword at Li Junxian's nose, raised his eyebrows and said, "I have eaten the gall of a leopard, even I Dare to stop? Believe it or not, I will kill you with a sword first, and then go to take the life of that bastard!"

Li Junxian quickly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, calm down! The last general has not finished speaking. After the Duke of Yue arrived at the Taoist temple, he stayed in the alchemy room to study, while His Highness prayed in the clean room. !"

His Majesty Li Er froze for a moment, and asked curiously, "Go to the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain to study all night?"

How can it be!

That kid has coveted Changle for a long time, when he is lonely and rainy at night, how can he miss such a good opportunity and just sit and study all night?
Li Junxian said: "I haven't read all night..."

"Wow! Li Junxian, how dare you bully me?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his sword again, and was about to go forward and stab this bastard who dared to play tricks on him.

Li Junxian's face turned pale with fright, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you will finish! Although Yue Guogong only studied until midnight, he did not meet with His Highness, but after midnight, a group of thieves took advantage of In the dark rainy night, they concealed their killings near the Taoist temple, trying to take advantage of the darkness to attack the Taoist temple, but the Duke of Yue seemed to have expected it, and deployed elite soldiers from the right guard in advance.

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

Slowly put down the sword in his hand, staring at Li Junxian with a pair of eyes: "Have you ever investigated, who did it?"

"It has never been detected. When the incident happened, General Mo's eyeliner on Youtunwei was divided into two groups. One side followed the retreating thieves to track down, and the other side returned to Chang'an to report to General Mo. The people who had just gone to track down had also returned. It is said that the thief escaped from Meridian Road, and left a brigade of soldiers to guard the exit of the plank road. No one could pass easily. He waited until the soldiers after the thief had withdrawn, and then returned to Chang'an through Meridian Road. But at this moment, the thief had disappeared without a trace. "

"You mean, 'pawns'?"

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, and he keenly captured the theme of Li Junxian's words.

Li Junxian said: "Exactly. Those bandits have their own evidence to advance and retreat, and the orders are prohibited. Although they almost entered the encirclement circle set up by the Duke of Yue, when they fled in a hurry, they still had a complete formation and moved quickly. It must be a well-trained brigade. It is absolutely impossible to wait for the casual soldiers, bandits and rogues to do this."

His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at the roof of the palace not far away, blurred in the drizzle.

Li Junxian took a peek at His Majesty Li Er, and saw that although he had calmed down, he was just holding the sword in his hand casually, but the anger contained in his calmness seemed to be compared with the private meeting between Fang Jun and Princess Changle just now. At that time, he became ten times more angry.

There's a calm before the storm... scary.

Li Junxian let the drizzle fall on his body and swallowed secretly.He naturally understood that this group of thieves must be soldiers of a certain army. Now there are more than ten armies gathered near Chang'an City, any one of which is suspicious. Sniping and killing important officials of the imperial court is bound to set off a monstrous storm.

At this critical moment when the Eastern Expedition is about to start, such a large-scale disturbance is enough to affect the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition.

If even the swearing-in ceremony is affected, it will even affect the morale of the entire army.

Some people will jump out if they can't say it, saying things like "this is God's will" and "God has the virtue of good life", and continue to slander Dongzheng.

On the one hand, the capital is unstable, which may shake the foundation of the empire. On the other hand, the Eastern Expedition is imminent, which entrusts His Majesty Li Er's ambitions.

Which one is more important?

How will His Majesty Li Er choose?
no one knows.

Perhaps, the thieves dared to snipe and kill important officials of the court with such thunderous means on the eve of the swearing-in so unscrupulously, because they saw the involvement in it, and bet that His Majesty Li Er cared more about the Eastern Expedition, so as to suppress this matter. ignore it.

If this is the case, the intentions of these thieves are no different from conspiracy, and the great crime of the Yi tribe...

Li Junxian lowered his head, letting the rain flow down his helmet and filling his cheeks, waiting for the thunderous wrath from His Majesty Li Er.

It's just that, should we bear it and wait for the Eastern Expedition to settle the case one by one, or should we attack the whole city at this moment and kill people everywhere?
For a long time, His Majesty Li Er in front of him did not move at all.

Li Junxian was puzzled in his heart, raised his head, and wanted to see His Majesty Li Er's face, but suddenly found... the rain had stopped.

The thin and dense rain still completely stopped. Although the sky is still overcast, it seems to have revealed some light, and it is no longer so depressing.

Li Junxian thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty...do you have any orders?"

His Majesty Li Er still didn't answer, just looked up at the dark sky.

The fierce struggle between the two thoughts in his heart, each of which means unparalleled influence, is enough to lead Datang to a completely different direction.Even His Majesty Li Er, who has always been decisive in killing and attacking, is inevitably worried about gains and losses at this moment, making it difficult to make a choice.

After a long time, a sound of footsteps came from far and near.

Li Junxian turned his head and looked, it was Wang De, the chief servant, and Li Chunfeng from the Taishi Bureau who went to call.

When the two came to the front, Li Chunfeng saluted and said: "I have been summoned to come here, please punish me by Your Majesty."

Having said that, what is there to punish?The Taishi Bureau calculated that today's Sishi would be neither rain nor windy, and the rain had already stopped before Sishi, so the Taishi Bureau had done nothing wrong.

Wang De said: "Your Majesty, just now the Duke of Yue and the Duke of Song came to report. The auspicious time is approaching, and the rain has stopped. It can be seen that God approves of His Majesty's Eastern Expedition. He will surely bless our army and people of the Tang Dynasty with victory and success! Your Majesty You can go to Yuanqiu to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."

This is a nice way of saying it, but another way of saying it is: the rain has stopped now, what should you do quickly, if it rains again later, it will be troublesome...

His Majesty Li Er, who was struggling to make a decision, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

What is a loyal minister?

This is a loyal minister!
Even if he was mobilized by the army to snipe and kill himself, and suffered great grievances, he was able to understand the seriousness of the matter, still did not forget the meaning of the ceremony, and was able to swallow his breath and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the king.How many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty can match this kind of loyalty and filial piety?

That guy has always been a staunch man, and he pays attention to revenge, but this time, for the sake of the smooth progress of the ceremony, he resolutely put aside his personal grievances and allowed the murderer to go unpunished.

"Dang!"

His Majesty Li Er threw the sword in his hand to the ground, startling everyone.

However, he listened to His Majesty Li Er's order: "The auspicious time is approaching, the palace is ready to go out of the city immediately, and hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Dragon Hall with his hands behind his back.

Li Junxian got up from the ground, watched Wang De bend down to pick up the sword, and hurriedly followed His Majesty Li Er into the Dragon Palace, he couldn't help feeling envious.

This kid Fang Jun really grasped His Majesty's mind accurately, endured his anger for a while, but won His Majesty's infinite praise.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor...

*****
South of the city.

Mingde Gate has been controlled by the Ministry of War, and all idlers are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving the city. Merchants and common people have turned to leave the city through the gates on the east and west sides. The south of the city has entered a state of military control. One post, five steps and one whistle, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals are busy non-stop, preparing the final arrangements before the ceremony to ensure that nothing is left behind.

Fang Jun and Xiao Yu stood under the Circular Mound, looking up at the whole Circular Mound surrounded by curtains of various colors, with banners waving.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "So let's just let this matter go?"

Fang Jun looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were busy on the mound, snorted softly, and said: "The thief is already immortal, so how can he avoid and not fight? It's just that now is the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition. Rao making this matter a big deal will definitely cause turmoil in Chang'an, and the Eastern Expedition may die prematurely. After all, there is no peace in the rear, how can His Majesty rest assured about the Eastern Expedition?"
