Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 363 The King Returns to Heaven
In the past, the luxurious Gaochang Palace, with singing, singing, singing, dancing, dancing, delicious food and wine, this pearl of the Western Regions exudes dazzling splendor, but now it is silent and desolate.

The maids in the palace are like summer cicadas in winter, huddling in every corner tremblingly, lest they make a sound to attract the attention of the king who is on the sick bed, and encounter an indiscriminate disaster...

When Tang Jun arrived in Hami, Ju Wentai also said that "it is not enough to worry about". !Ever since the news that the Tang army had entered the Qijiaojing Canyon yesterday came, the king who was already in a rage spit out a mouthful of blood again, and hanged all the maids who were serving him close to him.

Even His Royal Highness, you must speak carefully in front of the king...

The pomegranate flowers in front of the porch are like a ball of fireworks, but they cannot warm the chill of the whole palace.

Ju Wentai was lying on the soft bed, his forehead was covered with a white sweat towel, his face was like gold paper, and his breath was like gossamer.

The prince knelt in front of the couch, anxiously looking at the medical officer who was taking Ju Wentai's pulse.

The palace was quiet and cold, and a needle could be heard falling.

After a long time, the medical official released the three fingers on Ju Wentai's wrist, sighed, and shook his head slightly at the anxious prince.

Shizi's heart sank immediately...

If you don't die sooner or later, why do you have to die when the soldiers of the Tang army press down on the border?

It doesn't matter if his father is dead, he will automatically become the king of Gaochang Kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty is coming in a menacing manner, and the city will be destroyed in a short time.
Ju Wentai, who was on the slump, managed to open his eyes, and saw his son looking anxious and worried, and his heart warmed.At this time, the Tang army was approaching the city, and the civil servants and military generals in the city who used to swear allegiance to the sky were fleeing and hiding. A few days ago, Gaochang Kingdom was prosperous and prosperous, and even an official could not be found!At the critical moment, the son has to be reliable...

Thinking of this in his heart, Ju Wentai felt more and more guilty.

In the past, I was bewitched by the slanderous words of those concubines in the palace, and I always felt that all my son's filial piety and respect were hypocritical, and the plotter was only my own throne.

Now look at it, I was really wrong!
Ju Wentai struggled, raised his hand, held Shizi's hand tightly, and said intermittently: "This king has lived a glorious life, but he has also been confused all his life. He actually forgot that the closest thing in the world is the relationship between father and son. After all, blood is thicker than water." Ah! Today, this king made an oath, issued an edict, and proclaimed my son, my son, the king of Gaochang Kingdom. From now on, this king will abdicate to let the virtuous, and I hope that my son can inherit the teachings of the ancestors, work hard, be diligent and love the people..."

Having said so much in one breath, Ju Wentai was a little short of breath, panting sharply for a while before he calmed down.

Shizi is about to cry...

If it was a year ago, no!Even if it was half a year ago, as long as the Tang Dynasty had not sent troops, if he could inherit the throne, it would be enough to make His Royal Highness die!

But now that the Tang army is attacking from thousands of miles away, they will not retreat and stop fighting, and if they don't destroy the city and destroy the country, how can they let it go?The throne at this time is simply a super hot potato, no one wants it for nothing!
His Royal Highness cried with a sad face, and said aggrievedly: "Father... I have little talent, how can I take on the great responsibility of a country? This throne, I dare not take it, you should keep it for yourself..."

The medical officer stood aside, his eyes twitched when he heard this.

This is really a rare thing. I have only heard of father and son fighting against each other for the sake of the throne, but I have never heard of father's kindness and son's filial piety.

Ju Wentai was still talking, suddenly remembered something, and asked anxiously: "Where is General Ashinaji? Please come quickly, I have a letter written by the king, and ask him to pass it on to Yugu She Khan. Gaochang Kingdom is willing to offer gold and silver Jewelry, even if it is attached to the tail, you must ask the Turkic people to send troops to help! As long as the Turkic wolf cavalry arrives, the Tang army will be repelled!"

"Ashi Naji?" The prince smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Since last night, the child has been looking for him everywhere, but there is no trace of him inside and outside the palace, and he may have run away long ago!"

Ju Wentai froze for a moment, and then yelled: "Ashi Naji misunderstood me!"

The body jumped suddenly on the slump, and after falling down, there was no sound...

The medical officer was taken aback, and hurried forward to check, took a breath, looked at the prince in panic and said, "Your Majesty... the funeral is over!"

The prince was stunned, so he died so easily?
You are dead, what can I do?
The medical officer took a few steps back, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "My minister has seen the king!"

Although the Tang army is suppressing the country, Gaochang Kingdom does not necessarily have to be subjugated. Maybe raising the flag and surrendering can save this piece of land.This is the trustworthy His Majesty the King. As the witnesses on the scene of the old king's succession, can we also count as the meritorious service of the dragon?
The crown prince was stunned for a moment, he was a little stunned by the title of "king", and the moment this title that he had longed for and longed for finally fell on him, he felt a little uncontrollable anger!
If Datang wanted to gain prestige, the first thing to do would be to use the "King" as a knife!

What the hell are you putting me on the stove?

He is simply a rebellious minister and traitor, everyone can get it and punish him!
The prince suddenly jumped up from the ground, kicked the medical officer's head fiercely, and cursed: "Go to your king, you are the king, and your whole family is the king..."

The medical officer was kicked and yelled, but he didn't dare to fight back, but he was very depressed in his heart-I am a master of the dragon, why didn't I reward me for my meritorious deeds, but I did it next time?
Soon, the news of Ju Wentai's funeral spread throughout the palace, and all the maids and officials were relieved.

It was Ju Wentai who listened to the instigation of the Turks, broke the covenant with Datang, and disrupted the commercial routes in the Western Regions. Now that Ju Wentai is dead, Datang should not embarrass them little people, right?

Besides, even if you want to make things difficult, you should make things difficult for the new king...

Regardless of whether His Royal Highness is willing or not, he will naturally become the new king of Gaochang Kingdom. No one of his brothers can be stronger than him.

It is estimated that throughout the ages, no one has gained the throne more easily and harmoniously than this His Royal Highness, that is called a universal celebration...

************
The rising sun passed through the Qijiaojing Canyon and poured on the fertile fields west of the mountains. Huge and ferocious golden eagles hovered in the air. Teams of Tang troops with bright armor stepped into the plain from outside the valley. Anyone who gets in the way, goes straight to the distance, bathed in the morning light, and puts Gaochang City, which is plated with a layer of golden light, into the distance.

The power of the Tang army shakes the desert!
Along the way, there wasn't any army from Gaochang Kingdom to stop them. The Hu people avoided far away, lest they offend the mighty Tang army and be attacked by Wuwang. The Han people all came forward with smiles on their faces, eating pots of milk, singing and dancing!

The Hu people with the support of the Turkic people have bullied the Han people a lot!
But there is no way, most of them escaped here during the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they have already settled down and established their businesses for many years. Although Datang is good, they cannot easily abandon their family business here, return to Datang from thousands of miles away, and start working hard again.

Therefore, in the face of the barbarians who pretend to be powerful, they can only endure silently!
But now, Datang's army is coming!

"Tang country is seven thousand miles away, the sandy moraine is two thousand miles wide, the land has no water and grass, the winter wind is freezing and cold, and the summer wind is burning, and the wind blows, and many pedestrians die..."

So what?

The ends of the earth, the frontiers of the desert, as long as the Tang army wants to go, even if it is difficult and dangerous, it is unstoppable!
Wherever the army arrives, the crowd will fight for change!

Arrogant Ju Wentai thought he had the support of the Turkic people, so he wanted to stir up wind and rain in the Western Regions to become the king and hegemony. What happened?
As long as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be vulnerable to a single blow!
Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, the collapse of the Gaochang Kingdom is imminent. From now on, this fertile soil and water will be under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and a state will be built and a government will be built. From now on, who will dare to dominate the people of the Tang Dynasty?

Fang Jun rode on the horse and followed the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army. Looking at these Han people who were happily welcoming the return of their families, he felt a little touched.

As long as there is a strong country behind them, hardworking Han people will not be bullied or abused no matter where they are in the world!They can create their own happy life with their hardworking hands and wisdom.

However, such a simple condition is difficult to achieve...
