Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2973
Fame and wealth are taken in danger, wealth and honor are sought in danger.

The more one is at the top of society, the more one realizes the benefits of power, the more one yearns for the power to guide the country and decide life and death.

Chai Zhewei is a descendant of a noble family, but he has never tasted the taste of extreme power. Now there is an opportunity in front of him. Whether he dares to pursue it is one thing, but it is absolutely true to be tempted by it.

Even if it is only one level away from the peak of power, the gap is vast.

A man and a man, who doesn't yearn for the pinnacle of power where one man ruled the world and one man was under tens of thousands?
Chai Zhewei seemed to be calm on the surface, but his heart was overwhelmed and he couldn't help himself.

It's just that if that day really comes, what Li Yuanjing is going to do is to seek to usurp the throne. If he wins, he will be successful and write history with the sun and the moon in his hand, but if he loses, he will be a traitor. The upper and lower will also be slaughtered, and the history will be stigmatized for thousands of years...

Benefits and risks are both exciting and timid.

Seeing the change in Chai Zhewei's expression, Li Yuanjing felt relieved, and said with a smile: "As you said before, Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, so there is only a slight possibility of these words. As ministers, we should be loyal to the king, Do your best. However, people don't kill the world for themselves, if something really unbearable happens, why don't we fight hard, fight for a name that will go down in history and have power in the world?"

As he spoke, he personally poured wine for Chai Zhewei.

Chai Zhewei felt a little hot, so he stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, and suddenly felt a layer of fine beads of sweat.

He often claims that he is the best among the younger generation of Tang Dynasty. Only a few people like Fang Jun can be compared with him. Therefore, His Majesty is partial to his love of the house and Wu.

But now he realizes that his xinxing cultivation is really far behind.Li Yuanjing's few nonsensical words caused him to be in a turmoil...

Stabilizing his mind, Chai Zhewei shook his head and said: "How can such things be put on the lips? If people listen to it, they will inevitably be impeached for treason. Besides, even if there is an unexpected situation, it will be many years later. Just put the words here and let it take its course."

His Majesty Li Er is now at the peak of his spring and autumn, and it will take at least ten years to pass the throne, so you might as well put the words here first, and then consider it in the future.

Li Yuanjing was immediately elated, and he laughed and said: "Extremely extreme! You and I are both courtiers, how can you have such rebellious thoughts in your heart? But the man has a broad mind and far-reaching ambitions. Today, you and I are of the same heart and the same ambition. In the future, let's manipulate the situation hand in hand, and create a grand future together!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a small knife from his pocket and scratched lightly on his finger, and blood dripped into the wine cup in front of him.

Then he turned the knife around and handed the handle to Chai Zhewei.

Chai Zhewei was a little confused...

Let's just speak clearly, from now on we know what to do and maintain a tacit understanding, why do we need blood to form an alliance?

But looking up at Li Yuanjing's firm eyes, and then thinking about the endless temptations of Zai Zhitian, after pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth, took the knife, cut his finger, and blood dripped into the wine cup.

Li Yuanjing delightedly poured the wine mixed with blood into the wine cups for two people, poured them into two wine cups respectively, and then filled the pot with wine, each with a glass, and said: "Today's words are from the heart of the king. Zhisheng, from now on, this king and the Duke of Qiao will make a blood alliance, if there is any conflict, the sky will be struck by lightning, and ten thousand snakes will bite the heart and die!"

Chai Zhewei half pushed and half agreed, and also said: "This humble minister swears to follow the prince to achieve a great cause. If he betrays the prince half-heartedly, the gods and men will be angry and die!"

The two raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp.Then he turned the wine cup upside down, and there was no drop of wine in the cup, so he couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.

Suddenly a gust of wind rose outside the thatched cottage, bringing rainwater in from the window, and the candle flames on the candlesticks by the window flickered for a while, flickering and flickering.

After a while, everything was as usual.

*****
In the middle of the night, the cold rain was carried by the breeze and hit the glass of the window, making a crackling noise.

Princess Gao Yang woke up suddenly from her sleep, turned over and sat up, pulled a dress to wrap her exquisite and convex upper body, and stared out of the window in a daze.

The lanterns in the courtyard were still burning, swaying non-stop in the wind and rain, the faint orange light sprinkled in the courtyard, the wind and rain were as dark as ever, making it even more bleak.

"what happened?"

Behind him, Lang Jun's warm body leaned up, a muscular arm wrapped around his waist.

Princess Gao Yang rubbed her face, calmed down, and said softly: "I'm having a nightmare."

With the arm around his waist withdrawn, Fang Jun turned over and sat up, looked out the window, yawned, and said, "I think about it every day, and dream about it at night. Although your majesty is in the prime of life, it is still not as good as the army and horses back then." At that time, Liaodong was thousands of miles away, and even if you rushed there normally, you would be exhausted, not to mention the cold wind and rain? But rest assured, according to the itinerary, at this moment, Dali Yujia has not yet passed Luoyang, and the prefectures and counties along the way will definitely provide assistance. You won’t have to suffer too much.”

I don't know why, since His Majesty left Chang'an, Princess Gaoyang has been in a sluggish and distracted state.

But in Fang Jun's view, this is completely unnecessary. It is true that going to Liaodong to command a large army requires too much effort and physical strength, but His Majesty Li Er is always under the guard of the imperial army, and there are many imperial physicians with superb medical skills accompanying him. There will be an iota of danger.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if this battle fails to achieve its goal and has to return home, the safety of His Majesty Li Er is unlikely to have the slightest problem.

Princess Gao Yang's worry is clearly unfounded...

But my father traveled thousands of miles, and as a son of man, it is normal to be worried and worried, so he let her comfort him.

Princess Gao Yang was finally freed from the nightmare, sighed, stroked her smooth forehead, and said with a faint sigh: "I don't know why, but I always have a feeling of fear in my heart, as if something big will happen..."

Fang Jun stretched his waist, listening to the wind and rain outside the window, the room was cold, and it was easy to cheer up.

Then he chuckled, stretched out his hand from under his shirt, grabbed Yingying's waist, bit his wife's crystal clear earlobe, and said vaguely: "Your Highness is like a god, there is indeed a big event about to happen. The state-owned evildoer, the charm All sentient beings, my heart is concerned with the homeland and the maintenance of the common people, and I am willing to invite you to fight!"

Princess Gao Yang pursed her lips angrily, pinched the guy's leg fiercely with a sullen face, and said angrily: "The longest dog can't grow ivory, oh..."

Outside the window, the rain is dredging and the wind is blowing, and the drums of war are dense.

……

After a long time, the clouds and rain dissipated, and a crescent moon hung in the middle of the sky, shining brightly.

The maid brought warm water to clean them, and the couple lay on the bed. Princess Gaoyang leaned against Langjun's side, put her small head on her broad and strong chest, panted softly, and asked, "What is the difference between you and Sister Changle?" Now, what are your plans?"

Fang Jun froze for a moment.

Although Princess Gao Yang has expressed her openness to this matter several times, Fang Jun felt embarrassed to mention it suddenly under such circumstances.

The evil old society...

All I could do was say, "I don't have any plans... Oops!"

However, Princess Gao Yang pinched her chest fiercely, and she couldn't help but annoyed, "Why pinch someone?"

Princess Gaoyang supported her upper body with her arms, and looked down at Fang Jun from a high position, not caring that her beautiful upper body was completely exposed in front of Lang Jun, she frowned and said angrily: "Why are you like this? Sister Changle is dignified and virtuous, what are you planning to tease others like this?" None, is it the work of a gentleman?"

Fang Jun was speechless, and said helplessly: "Then you can't let me marry Changle and come back, right? It's not that I don't want to, His Majesty will definitely not be able to pass that test."

Just thinking about His Majesty Li Er's consistent attitude towards the matter between him and Princess Changle, Fang Jun had no choice but to stop.

My two daughters serve a husband together... This is no different from taking the life of His Majesty Li Er, and it will definitely become the laughing stock of the ages.

How could a person who loves face so much as His Majesty Li Er agree?
Princess Gao Yang curled her lips, pinched Fang Jun again, and said with a cold snort: "You don't understand Sister Changle at all, she would rather die than enter Fang's house, even if I am willing to hand over the identity of the wife How can she be so lofty and self-restraining as she would want sisters to serve her husband together?"

As he spoke, he dragged his chin with his palm, sighed, and said quietly: "Sister Changle has that kind of temperament, even if she is willing in every way in her bones, but considering the face of the father and the affection of the sisters, she will never agree to marry her." She entered Fang's house. At the beginning, she and Changsun Huan had already broken off their friendship, but she was able to endure all kinds of grievances and still stay in Changsun's house. She... is a bit stubborn despite being soft and weak."
