Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3187
Li Ji looked at the weeping grandson Wuji from the side, and was silent.

At their level, sometimes they can't tell the difference when their emotions are revealed and when they are fake, let alone others?If there is no such talent, even if the talent is extremely high and the ability is outstanding, it is absolutely impossible to occupy a high position in the center.

Life is all about truth and falsehood.

His Majesty Li Er also sighed a few times, unable to discern how sincere and sincere Changsun Wuji's pain mixed with regret was, so he could only pat Changsun Wuji on the shoulder and comforted him: "A man standing in the world, it is inevitable that his wife An unvirtuous son is not filial, this is something no one can do. Although you and I belong to the monarch and ministers, we are brothers and sisters. After so many years of fighting side by side, how can you bear the pain of your children being exiled and not even allowed to enter the family temple? Don't worry, as long as Changsun Chong does his best, I will not treat him badly."

Changsun Wuji was very grateful and thankful.

It's just that in his heart, he couldn't figure out whether His Majesty Li Er made this promise because he missed his hard work and past friendship over the years, or because he didn't want to be unable to explain to Queen Wende in the future. After all, Empress Wende always treated her natal nephew, Changsun Chong, as her own.

If it is the former, although the love is exhausted, but after all, I still have some weight in His Majesty's heart.

If the latter, it is worrying.

When a family has to rely on the shadow of a deceased woman, it is probably not far from being a prodigal...

His Majesty Li Er appeased Changsun Wuji, and said: "The peace negotiation needs more communication from Changsun Chong Yu Yuangai and Su Wen. No matter what the thief's intentions are, if it can be really facilitated and avoid a big battle, it will be a merit." Infinite."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Here."

But he knew in his heart that now that the crisis in Hexi had been resolved, the so-called peace negotiation would be a tactic for the Tang army to delay the troops this time, so as to confuse the Goguryeo side and make them yearn for a peace negotiation.

It was almost impossible to negotiate a peace.

In this way, the greatest achievement of Changsun Chong is completely impossible...

His Majesty Li Er said to Li Ji: "You can order Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo's vanguard army to drive the coalition forces of all ethnic groups to storm Bocha City. Order Cheng Yaojin to garrison the lower reaches of Bocha City, block the river, and strictly guard against it." The enemy army in Daxing City supports them. Order Zhou Daowu and Qiu Xiaozhong to reorganize their armaments and take over the vanguard army to attack the city at any time. Within ten days, I want to see the army occupy the ferry and cross the Yalu River!"

The weather is getting cooler day by day, autumn is here and winter is not far away.

The weather in Liaodong is extremely cold. Autumn is not long, and it is only three months. No one can tell when a north wind blows and it will snow heavily.

Although it may not freeze immediately after snowfall, it will make the road more muddy, the Tang army's advance speed will be greatly slowed down, and the supply of logistics supplies will be increased.

Goguryeo must be destroyed before winter comes, at least Pyongrang City must be surrounded, and the field battle should end as soon as possible...

"Here!"

Li Ji immediately took the order, then nodded slightly to Changsun Wuji, got up and walked out of the big tent, and summoned all the generals in the army to issue military orders.

Only His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji remained in the tent.

His Majesty Li Er took off the cloak on his body, put it aside, filled the two tea cups on the desk with his own hands, and pushed one of them to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly bowed to return the salute, holding up the teacup with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er smiled, and said: "When you and I were in Prince Qin's mansion, we often sat and drank tea and talked about the situation in the world in our spare time. It's just that the high-quality tea soup we drank at that time was not as good as the clear tea we are drinking now. It is sweet and timeless, and the taste is clear."

Changsun Wuji forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty is right."

Tea is not as good as new, and people are not as good as new. It is true that the world is vicissitudes of life, and people's hearts are fickle...

His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup and took a sip, then suddenly asked: "Sanlang, as the candidate for the son of the eldest son, has inherited the great expectations of the eldest grandson's family. He should not be the son of a daughter, so why did he suddenly appear in the Western Regions and be murdered by thieves?" , leading to the loss of souls in foreign lands, is it a pity?"

Changsun Wuji was picking up the teacup, when he heard the words, his heart shook suddenly, he tried his best not to shake his wrist, with a trace of remorse on his face, he said in a hoarse voice: "To tell you the truth, the old minister has been relying heavily on you all these years, so I have taken care of you." Not a small family business, but also greedy for pleasure, vanity and exaggeration, making the stall bigger and bigger. But the old minister lacks financial means, although the family business is not small, it is very careless, the output has decreased in recent years, and the family has spent money However, it increased day by day, and the warehouse gradually became empty and unsustainable. Saburo was very filial, and he originally took care of most of the family's property. Because of the prosperous trade on the Silk Road, he went to the Western Regions in person to discuss cooperation with several Hu merchants. When he couldn't return, he was brutally murdered by horse thieves... The old minister really regrets that his intestines are green. If he knew this, why should he set up such a large family business? With His Majesty's favor and care, he can enjoy the shadow of Empress Wende. After all, Shang and Xia can live without worries, but they are born with a heart of pleasure, which eventually leads to a big mistake, and it is too late to regret..."

As he spoke, he covered his face and wept again.

But his heart was full of shock, because he once explained to His Majesty Li Er why Changsun Jun appeared in the Western Regions, why did His Majesty ask again now?

Have you forgotten, or have some other doubts?
Or what was discovered by the "Hundred Knights" in Chang'an...

His Majesty Li Er was also full of embarrassment, and sighed wryly: "Sanlang is very filial, smart and quick, he is a good seedling, it's a pity. When he went to the Western Regions, he had interviews with those Hu merchants? What happened to him must have something to do with these few This Hu businessman can’t get away from the relationship. The auxiliary machine may as well say that I will write a letter back to Chang’an and ask the ‘Baiqisi’ to send some people to the Western Regions to investigate. If there is any gain, I will let the Anxi Dufu send troops to cut it off. , destroy its seedlings, and give three

Lang revenge!How can the relatives of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty be beheaded and killed wantonly by those savage barbarians?I can't bear this tone! "

Speaking of this, he even patted the table and was very angry.

Changsun Wuji, however, was terrified in his heart, his spine felt chilly, and he probably broke out in cold sweat, trying to maintain a look of regret on his face, and politely refused: "Your Majesty has this heart, and the Changsun family will never forget it until death! But right now the empire is in a difficult situation, both the east and the west are going through great wars, and the national power is struggling, how can one disrupt the deployment of various places because of one's own personal enmity? The old minister will send people to investigate this matter, and dare not bother His Majesty."

"What did the auxiliary machine say?"

His Majesty Li Er was displeased, sat up straight, and said: "Sanlang is also my nephew. How can I remain indifferent to his tragic death in the Western Regions? Although the Western Regions have experienced wars, but with the combat power of the Anxi Army, the Hu people will be defeated in an instant. It can be slaughtered! As long as it is not from Damascus, no matter any Hu tribe in the Western Regions, this enmity will be reported to Saburo!"

With a pair of tiger eyes, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji burningly.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "At that time, the old minister was in Liaodong with His Majesty, so how could he know who the murderer was? But the old minister has already sent a letter to his family, asking his old servant to take people to the Western Regions to investigate in detail. But now the Western Regions are on fire. Since then, the army has attacked, and many roads have been blocked, and the news must have been blocked. Presumably, there will be no news from the Western Regions until His Majesty wins and returns to the court."

The fear in my heart became more and more intense.

He understood His Majesty Li Er's character. Although he usually looked broad-minded and informal, he was actually meticulous and sharp-minded.

Since he suddenly asked about Changsun Jun's death, there must be a purpose.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji did not dare to assert that Changsun Jun was killed by the Hu tribe in the Western Regions, he could only explain in an ambiguous manner, otherwise, once His Majesty Li Er has any evidence, everything will be closed...

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, then reached for the teapot.

Changsun Wuji dared to ask His Majesty to pour tea for him again, so he quickly bent over, picked up the teapot first, and filled the teacup in front of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er picked up his teacup and said: "Earlier Li Junxian sent a letter to report the situation in Guanzhong, saying that someone found that Sanlang had traveled with a group of Han merchants to Damascus. Later, the group of Han merchants were found to have died tragically outside Damascus. Fortunately, his wife and younger brother were also merchants, who happened to pass by and were able to recognize their identity."

Having said that, he stopped abruptly, brought the teacup to his mouth, and took a sip.

Changsun Wuji froze as if struck by lightning, his heart skipped a beat, and his face showed an incredulous expression: "How is it possible? Sanlang certainly went to the Western Regions, but my family and the big cannibal have never had a deal. He Why are you going to Damascus?"

I was secretly glad, sure enough!
If I insisted that the murderer was the Hu tribe of the Western Regions just now, I would definitely show my feet at this moment, and if I tried to prevaricate with words such as "I don't know" and "I don't understand", then it would be unreasonable.
