Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3373 Private Conspiracy
The military forces of the Tang Dynasty were intertwined and fought against each other. On the surface, they looked harmonious, but in fact they were fighting openly and secretly, and often disregarded the interests of the empire for their own self-interest.Without His Majesty Li Er sitting in the central army to coerce all parties, Li Ji felt unprecedentedly worried.

What's more important is that His Majesty Li Er's shock and fall from the horse has already made the army's morale unstable. When the news is sent back to Chang'an, the turmoil caused will be even greater than that in the army.

And once His Majesty Li Er's situation is more serious than now... Li Ji can't imagine it.

So the only thing he can do right now is to send someone to Chang'an to tell the prince to stabilize the court, and send an imperial physician to Liaodong to treat His Majesty, while deploying troops to storm Ping Rang City.

Only by capturing Pingrang City as soon as possible, overthrowing Goguryeo, ending the Eastern Expedition, and withdrawing the army to the country can the situation of all parties be stabilized and those with ulterior motives deterred.

Fortunately, this point echoes the interests of all forces in the army, and it will not hinder each other, otherwise the situation of the war will become more and more worrying...

Li Ji and Changsun Wuji worked out a detailed siege plan together, mobilizing various armies to attack Ping Rang City intensively, and at the same time strictly ordered the navy to speed up the transportation of supplies, and must overcome all difficulties to supply the army with food, fodder and military equipment.

The focus of the siege is still the Seven Star Gate.

Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche seemed to have a lot of fun when they quarreled with grandson Wuji and Qiu Xiaozhong, but in fact the pressure on their shoulders was enormous.

The mistakes he made before were too serious. If he wanted to pay off his merits, he could only capture the Seven Stars Gate and gain the merit of "first ascending". But how easy is it to capture the Seven Stars Gate?
Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops took turns under Li Ji's dispatch, launching offensives day and night, and almost every inch of the Ping Rang city wall was under the onslaught of Tang troops, and the Goguryeo people would never be given a chance to breathe.

……

at dusk.

Zhu Suiliang came to Changsun Wuji's tent, saw him sitting behind the desk with a stack of letters in his hands, in a daze, he couldn't help feeling pity.

Those are the letterheads that Changsun Chong had communicated with him these days. Now that the Seven Stars Gate plan has failed, Changsun Chong has more vicious things than good luck, and Changsun Wuji, who was once cruel and ruthless, will inevitably lick the calf with deep love and sadness.

Under the oil lamp, the temples were already white...

Zhu Suiliang stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I have seen Duke Zhao."

"Oh,"

Changsun Wuji recovered from deep thought, smiled, and said, "It's Dengshan, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

As he spoke, he put away the letterhead in his hand and put it in the drawer of the desk. Some people offered tea, and then he waved his hand to dismiss all the servants, leaving only the two of them in the tent.

As soon as Zhu Suiliang sat down, Changsun Wuji poured tea for him with his own hands. Zhu Suiliang was startled, got up and grabbed the teapot, respectfully filled the teacup in front of Changsun Wuji, and then poured a cup for himself , put the teapot aside, and then sat down.

Changsun Wuji's fat, round face was full of kindness, he said with a smile, "We're all our own people, why do you need to see outsiders like this?"

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Zhu Suiliang also picked up his teacup, but he didn't drink any water, but said in a warm voice: "The inside story of the Seven Stars Sect's incident has not yet been known, and Dalang may not have met with the accident as he guessed. Before Dalang and Yuan Gaisu Wen and Wen get along quite well. Now that the Tang army is overwhelming the territory, Ping Rang City is in danger, and the overthrow is only in the blink of an eye. How can Yuan Gai Su Wen not think about it later? Keep Da Lang, maybe you can discuss it with Zhao Guogong, see Let's see if we can save the Yuan clan... In short, Da Lang is still useful to Yuan Gai Suwen, so he may not be sentenced to death. Besides, Da Lang has always been auspicious, so this predicament will surely be turned into good fortune. I have already returned to Chang'an to fulfill my filial piety."

Changsun Wuji smiled indifferently, put down his teacup, stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Thank you Dengshan for your kindness, but what kind of things have I never seen in my life? Even if a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, it is not once or twice. I've been used to it for a long time..."

These words sounded extremely free and easy, but when he said it, Changsun Wuji felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

The so-called tiger's venom does not eat its offspring, no matter how cruel and ruthless a person is, he can be cruel and tyrannical when dealing with outsiders, but how can he be ruthless when dealing with his own blood descendants?
As long as he thinks about his sons passing away one after another, Changsun Wuji will have a cynical impulse...

After he calmed down, he sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk too much, Da Lang is to live or die, since the fate of the world is..."

Zhu Suiliang nodded, brought the teacup to his mouth, and took a sip of the tea, feeling a little depressed.

Normally, he can't help being knowledgeable, able to read words, and eloquent, but now facing Changsun Wuji, he really doesn't know what to say, and what Changsun Wuji said when he went to his account before Things made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles...

Changsun Wuji saw that Zhu Suiliang was fidgeting and looking stiff, so he knew that what he said at his residence earlier caused him trouble.

I can't help but feel more and more that this person is dull. He wants to enter the center to take power, but he doesn't want to take risks and fight hard. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Even if there is, how can it be your turn...

Putting down the teacup, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Why, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Zhu Suiliang swallowed his saliva, and smiled apologetically, "It's not that he didn't understand it, it's because he was timid, timid, and his conscience was hard to rest."

"Ha ha."

Changsun Wuji smiled, sat up straight, and asked, "Have you been with His Majesty for some years?"

Zhu Suiliang was puzzled.

Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty certainly has great favor for you, always takes you by his side, and entrusts you with the post of servant of the Huangmen... But, has he ever confided in you and given you authority?"

Zhu Suiliang was silent.

Outsiders say that he is a close minister of the emperor, and he has caused many red eyes. In fact, not only has he never tasted the convenience of being a close minister of the emperor, but he is always cautious, lest he make a mistake and make the mistake of "being petted and spoiled". , making His Majesty unhappy.

He was even reprimanded by His Majesty for leaving the capital because of the manuscripts that Wei Zheng left behind before his death, and he was almost exiled to Qiongzhou...

What kind of emperor and close minister is this?

Changsun Wuji turned his gaze on his face, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty is a wise monarch rarely seen in the ages. He only wants to create a grand and hegemony that has never been seen in the ages. He is most worried that the ministers around him will become lucky and sycophants. ruined his reputation."

Zhu Suiliang nodded.

It is true that His Majesty is wise and talented, but he also has many minor problems. The biggest problem is that he is "extremely happy", and he cherishes his feathers too much. He is afraid that his reputation will be smeared in the history books, so he asks his closest ministers to Extremely strict.

Putting him into Zhenguan Academy was already the greatest compliment Li Er gave him these years. However, when he was squeezed out and suppressed by Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong in Zhenguan Academy, His Majesty never helped him. Not to mention being his backer.

Of course, this is not just for him. Once Fang Jun and other "simple in the emperor's heart" favorites make mistakes, His Majesty Li Er will not defend them and severely punish them.

Changsun Wuji was persuasive and persuasive: "So it's not that you didn't do well, but that His Majesty's determination is as firm as a stone, and he will never change because of anyone. Therefore, once Zhenguan reigns, you will never think of being able to enter the center and take power." .”

Zhu Suiliang forcefully forced a smile: "This official is not someone who is greedy for power, it is already a supreme honor to be able to serve His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji exclaimed in admiration: "Ascend to be good, be virtuous, and have no external things, you are really a model for my generation! But even if you don't care about those powers, you already have the brand of Guanlong on you. Have you ever thought that once the dynasty changes, you The next game, or even Qian Tang Chu's next game?"

Zhu Suiliang was speechless.

Although he and Fang Jun cannot be said to have a deep hatred, it is a fact that they hate each other and dislike each other. Once the prince ascends the throne, Fang Jun will be a well-deserved giant in the court. .

Who told him that Zhu Suiliang has always been entangled with the Guanlongmen Clan for secret arrangements and interests?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he grasped the key point in Changsun Wuji's words, and stared at Changsun Wuji with a changed expression: "Duke Zhao's intention, could it be His Majesty's injury..."

Changsun Wuji looked solemn and nodded slowly.

Zhu Suiliang took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "This, this...how is it possible?"

As if being bitten by lightning, the whole person trembled.

Such things are simply unbelievable. Even when he complained about His Majesty Li Er in his heart, he never thought that there would be such a day...
