Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3378 Unpredictable

Yuan Gai Su Wen sent someone to arrange a place for Chang Sun Chong, after returning home he had a bath, the maid brought new clothes for him to change, after tidying up, Chang Sun Chong was rid of all the bad luck and looked brighter.

It's just that he is still in Ping Rang City, sitting on pins and needles, afraid that Yuan Gai Suwen will change his mind at some point, and then catch him and chop off his head...

It's not easy to wait till evening, Chang Sun Chong sent someone to ask Yuan Gai Suwen for instructions, saying that he was concerned about important matters, and hoped to return to the Tang army's camp as soon as possible.

After a while, just when Chang Sun Chong was feeling uneasy, someone came to tell him that Da Mo Lizhi was ready to go...

Chang Sun Chong was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much on his face, he hurriedly asked his followers to prepare, and left the city from the south gate empty-handed, all the way to the frozen Xishui smoothly.

"call!"

Changsun Chong took a deep breath of air. At night, the biting cold wind in Liaodong swept ice scum and snow foam down his throat, which made his stomach convulse, and he coughed so hard that tears almost came down.

He really cried, hot tears rolled down in the freezing weather.

No one can understand how he has lived a life of ups and downs in recent years, fleeing from the territory of the Tang Dynasty like a bereaved dog, and in this barren and cold Ping Rang City, how carefully and cautiously he "recognizes the thief as his father", and treats him all day long. Yuan Gai Su Wen, a barbarian full of fishy aura, bows down and bows his knees.

He didn't hesitate to shatter the pride he once thought of himself, just to be able to return to Chang'an, and return to the majestic and prosperous Tang Dynasty.

However, he failed in the end. He was manipulated by others like a fool, and he only survived his life by relying on his father...

This kind of blow made Chang Sun Chong heartbroken, and all his dignity was frozen into pieces in this icy world and scattered all over the ground.

But fortunately, he is still alive at last, as long as he is alive, everything is possible.

He wiped his face, wiped away the snot and tears on his face, glanced at the entourage standing beside him, and said, "Let's go, go back to the Tang army camp, father in front of you."

The entourage shook his head and said: "Patriarch has an order. If Dalang gets out of trouble, he doesn't have to go to the Tang army's camp. He should sneak back to Chang'an directly, and he has other important appointments."

Chang Sun Chong was shocked: "Father really intends to mutiny and support King Jin to succeed?"

He had some guesses about this, and he had deliberated for a long time, but he still didn't think that it was justifiable to support Jin Wang as the king, and the eldest grandson's family was unharmed.

The Eastern Expedition is the effort of the whole country. Even if the battle is the last one, it is impossible for His Majesty Li Er to withdraw his troops and return to the army. Otherwise, the backlash caused by the failure of the army and the return of the army will be extremely serious, especially for Li Er. His Majesty's prestige has been severely hit, and His Majesty Li Er absolutely cannot accept it.

What's more, the vigorous and vigorous Eastern Expedition ended up in the same end as Emperor Sui Yang. How could His Majesty Li Er bear it?

However, once a situation occurs, His Majesty Li Er will not care about these vain names, and can only return to the court and hastily end the battle of the Eastern Expedition, that is, drastic changes will occur in Chang'an.

It is absolutely impossible to change the dynasty. Now that the Li and Tang royal families have already won the hearts of the people, and all important positions in the court are controlled, it is absolutely impossible to overthrow it in one fell swoop by relying solely on the Guanlongmen Clan.And once the Guanlongmen Clan takes such a move, the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry will definitely not sit still. Under the joint suppression of all forces, the Guanlongmen Clan can only be destroyed.

The only thing that can cause drastic changes in Chang'an and endanger the foundation of the country, but will not be rejected and killed by all forces, is to depose the position of the prince.

Once the East Palace is breached and the prince is deposed, it will mean that the country will be shaken. No matter how determined to win Goguryeo, His Majesty Li Er must immediately send his troops back to Guanzhong.

As an emperor, how could he just sit back and watch his registered prince be deposed by mutiny?
And when His Majesty returned to Beijing, the prince's party had been cut off, and the court was full of ministers who supported the King of Jin. The group of ministers jointly signed a letter requesting that the King of Jin be named as the heir apparent. What reason would His Majesty not agree to?
It must be known that His Majesty has always been the most optimistic about the King of Jin. At this time, the bad guys are done by others. He only needs to push the boat forward and make the King of Jin the crown prince, and he has fulfilled the biggest concern in his heart...

However, all this is only on the surface.

The crux of the problem is that His Majesty Li Er is a hero of the generation, with great talent, boldness, brilliance and martial arts. Even if he prefers Jin Wang to be the heir, the crown prince is his eldest son after all. How can he allow others to mutiny? To depose him by means of tricks, and cut off all the Donggong party?
Not to mention that it also ruined his plans for the Eastern Expedition.

At that time, although His Majesty Li Er is likely to pinch his nose and admit the fact that King Jin is on the throne, he will definitely deal ruthless blows to the eldest grandson's family.

No emperor would allow the existence of such rebellious ministers...

So, why does my father think that doing this will ensure that the eldest grandson's family is still safe and secure and more powerful than before after deposing the East Palace and supporting the King Jin?
A gust of cold wind blew, and the eldest grandson shivered Lingling and came back to his senses.

My father has always been far-sighted, and of course I can't see through some plans in a short time, otherwise how can I hide them?

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, nodded and said, "Then let's set off immediately and return to Chang'an!"

"Here!"

Several personal followers followed behind, trekking hard together in the dark wind and snow.

However, Chang Sun Chong's heart seemed to be on fire, and he didn't feel cold at all.

Chang'an, which often haunts him in his dreams, is full of poetry and wine, prosperity and prosperity, and there are beautiful women who cook wine with green plums, and may be able to express lovesickness... Even though the vicissitudes of life have changed, and things have changed, she has been severely hurt, but Chang Sun Chong's heart is always there. They are all thinking about that slim and beautiful figure.

Maybe it's not lovesickness, the so-called love-hate entanglement, when the day of success, I will turn my hands into clouds, and what I want to see more is the tears of regret on that beautiful and incomparably pretty face...

*****
Chang'an, heavy snow.

Heavy snow, November Festival also, so far the snow is full.

A heavy snow has swept through Guanzhong since before the festival, and Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, is covered with silver and is chilling to the bone.

The proverb "Tonic in winter, fight tigers in spring" has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the day of "heavy snow" is the best time to "supplement".

In the East Palace, although the snow was falling, it was cleaned diligently by the servants and maids, so that the snow did not accumulate thickly, and only a thin layer was laid on the green brick corridor, which was swept away immediately.

In the side hall on the side of Lizheng Hall, the fog is thick and the meat is fragrant.

A copper hot pot was placed in the hall, Prince Li Chengqian, Song Guogong Xiao Yu, Jiangxia County King Li Daozong, Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou and others were sitting around, stacks of fresh mutton were cut into thin slices, one plate after another Go down into the tumbling boiling soup, roll a few times, and the red mutton will be taken out as soon as it changes color, picked up with chopsticks, dipped in sesame sauce, leek sauce, and dried chili sauce, and chewed in the mouth. The overflowing meat aroma and spicy dispel the cold, making everyone very addicted.

Then pick up the cleaned green leeks, cabbage and other vegetables with chopsticks in the boiling soup for a few times, dip them in the sauce and eat them, which is refreshing and relieves greasy.

Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks, took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, raised his wine glass and said, "It's snowing and cold, and it's a pleasure to have a leisurely gathering with the gentlemen, good food and wine, and a joy in life! Here, we wish our father the victory of the imperial banner and the establishment of the eternal world." Immortal deeds!"

Everyone hastily put down their chopsticks and raised their glasses together.

"Wish Your Majesty all the best!"

"Falling Goguryeo, victory and triumph!"

"Drink Holy!"

……

Everyone raised their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

Two days ago, Liaodong Zhanbao arrived in Chang'an, saying that the army had captured Dacheng Mountain City and was approaching Anhe Palace. As long as Anhe Palace, the last line of defense of Pingrang City, was captured, the army could reach the Qixing Gate.

And everyone here is the pillar of the empire and the giants of the dynasty. Naturally, they know the secret of Chang Sun Chong lurking in Ping Rang City as a "secret spy", gaining control of the Seven Star Gate, and opening the gate to welcome the army when the time comes. Even more excited.

In this battle of the Eastern Expedition, not only the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line charged and suffered countless casualties, but the imperial court far away in Chang'an also worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep for this war. Taking advantage of the opportunity to invade the crisis, the pressure is too great.

What's more, the various forces in Chang'an City are turbulent and ready to move, and no one knows whether they will suddenly erupt at a certain moment, triggering a huge crisis that will shake the country and society.

However, as long as His Majesty captures Pingrang City as soon as possible, Koguryo falls, and the army returns to the court, everything will be solved.

The boulder pressing on everyone's chest finally loosened, and they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
