Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3630 His Majesty's Will
Qiu Xiaozhong's heart was beating wildly, he swallowed hard, and waited for Zhang Liang to ask, "What does Duke Yun mean?"

Zhang Liang was very calm, while holding the pot and pouring tea, he smiled lightly: "What can I mean? I don't mean anything! I just complained about the current situation in the army during the chat. There are many rumors in the army. Not only you know me, but the British public also knows that the military is unstable. Some people can hold their breath, but some people may not..."

Although he knew that Zhang Liang's words were meant to be bewitching, Qiu Xiaozhong couldn't help but feel nervous and excited.

The situation in Guanzhong has always affected the nerves of the Guanlong people in the Eastern Expedition Army. It was better when I first heard that Changsun Wuji secretly sneaked back to Chang'an to raise troops. All in Guanlong.

But as the battle in Chang'an dragged on, the army composed of more than [-] Guanlong families could not do anything about the tens of thousands of troops in the East Palace, which naturally made the people of Guanlong nervous.

In particular, Fang Jun suddenly abandoned the Western Regions and ran for thousands of miles all the way and suddenly appeared in Guanzhong to help the Eastern Palace, which made the nerves even more tense.When the news of Fang Jun's successive victories and Guanlong's successive defeats came, he became more and more panicked and couldn't hold back.

Everyone knows that once the eldest grandson Wuji fails to remonstrate, what a tragic situation the Guanlong clan will face...

Qiu Xiaozhong's foundation lies in Guanlong. If Guanlong collapses, not only will his strength be damaged, but he will be implicated endlessly. His future will be ruined and he will return to his hometown. Different head.

At this moment, he forced himself to suppress his nervousness, glanced left and right, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Does Duke Yun know anything?"

Zhang Liang laughed, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "What can I know? I'm a native of Xingyang, so what does Guan Long have to do with me? It's just that there have been a lot of rumors recently, and I'm just talking about it in my spare time. Brother, you might as well pay more attention to it, but also to appease the morale of the soldiers in Guanlong in the army, and help the British public a lot to solve problems and share some pressure."

Qiu Xiaozhong secretly hated in his heart, this fellow leaked some truth, and shied away cleanly.

However, he also understood what Zhang Liang meant. The rumors that have been spreading in the army recently were gradually unable to be suppressed by Li Ji. Obviously, it was not just complaints from the soldiers below. Maybe someone secretly contributed to the flames, and its purpose was also Self-explanatory.

Guan Long's soldiers couldn't hold back anymore...

Are you planning to conspire against Li Ji?While Qiu Xiaozhong was excited, he was also a little angry: Lao Tzu is also from Guanlong, and he is still a senior general in the army. Those generals who came from Guanlong conspired in private and actually excluded Lao Tzu, and now they still know the details from outsiders?

Simply too much!
He was annoyed for a while, and then he was suddenly shocked: Even Zhang Liang knew about this, so Li Ji didn't realize it either?Thinking of Li Jing's means and ability, Qiu Xiaozhong felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that he had to remind Guanlong's soldiers not to get up and not succeed, but to be suppressed by Li Ji...

*****
Almost at the same time, the Chinese army opened a large tent.

Li Ji stood in front of the window in a scholar's gown, with his back straight and his hands behind his back, and his deep eyes stared at the swaying Taihang Mountains.

The tent door opened, Cheng Yaojin picked up the curtain and entered, gave a perfunctory salute, then sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and said in a rough voice, "I don't know if the British Prime Minister called the last general, what is your order? There is an order. It will be issued directly, and there will be no disobedience at the end, and if there is nothing wrong, the commander will return, and the hot pot is still cooking on the stove."

The words and deeds are arbitrary, and the opponent is not regarded as the commander of the army at all...

Li Ji turned around and saw Cheng Yaojin's virtue, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is because of his tough attitude when the army marched to Yecheng a few days ago...

However, he has a deep friendship with Cheng Yaojin, and he knows that the other party seems to be arrogant and indulgent, but in fact he has his own discretion in every word and deed, not as simple as it seems on the surface.Anyone who thinks that this person is a big and rude person is afraid that he will suffer a big loss if he turns back.

After returning to the book desk and sitting down, facing Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji frowned and said, "You are also an old official who has gone through Huanhai, so you should be vigilant and steady in your heart, why are you still upset at this moment? What is the current situation? You also understand that I have no intention or time to mess with you, and if there is a concern that affects the overall situation, even you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These words are very serious. If someone else was warned by the current Zaisuke, he would be so scared that he would break into a cold sweat and lose his soul, but how could Cheng Yaojin be afraid?
"Ah!"

He sneered, raised his chin full of beards, stared at Li Ji with a rebellious expression: "The big picture, the big picture, the big picture! I'm a leader of the army, and only know how to charge into battle and die without turning your heels. How do you know the big picture of bullshit? Don't put the big picture in your mouth all day long, as if you are superior to others. Either you will clearly state your overall situation, or you will issue military orders under the pretense of your first assistant. How dare I not obey? "

"..."

Li Ji was so angry that his nose was smoking, he patted the table and said angrily, "How do you talk?"

"Hey! What's the matter, the British man wants to cut off Lao Tzu's head for the crime of speech? Even if it doesn't work, the law of the Tang Dynasty clearly states that 'the speaker is innocent', as long as Lao Tzu does not rebel, even His Majesty can't Guilty for this!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes stared like copper bells, plausible and unafraid.

Li Ji was so angry that he rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Don't mess around with you... Haven't you noticed the rumors and unstable morale in the army recently?"

Cheng Yaojin picked up the teapot on the desk, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said disapprovingly: "The rebels have been fighting for nearly three months, from winter to spring, and there have been countless casualties in successive battles. As a result, our hundreds of thousands of elites from the empire seem to have yet to return to Chang'an... How could there be no rumors rising in the army? But you, the British public, are extremely prestigious and tyrannical. "

He admired Li Ji, but he was extremely dissatisfied with the series of measures on the way back to Chang'an, especially the fact that the army was so slow to return to Guanzhong. In his opinion, Li Ji took advantage of it. power for his own personal gain.

The news of His Majesty's death is currently only known to a few people at the highest levels of the army, but God knows how long this news can be concealed!

Once this news is leaked, the whole army is bound to cause drastic changes. The most terrible thing is that if the rebels in Chang'an City win, the Crown Prince of the East Palace will surely die. At that time, the world will be reversed and the outline will be in chaos.
Indeed, the prince does not have His Majesty's wise, wise and virtuous talents, but if he is a coward, he is also His Majesty's canonized crown prince, the heir to the empire!

Before His Majesty could only issue an imperial edict to depose the Crown Prince, as long as His Majesty died, the Crown Prince would be the new Emperor of course!You, Li Ji, used hundreds of thousands of troops but stagnated, sitting indifferently while the crown prince was in danger. What do you want to do?
Li Ji felt that he couldn't get entangled with this rambunctious goods, otherwise he would not be able to bring the topic too far, and immediately said indifferently: "I just ask you, in your eyes, am I loyal to Your Majesty?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, although he didn't want to give this guy with a "traitorous" face a good face, he still nodded and said, "I have never doubted this."

"That's good,"

Li Ji's face was solemn, and he said slowly, "If I tell you that all my actions at the moment are based on His Majesty's will, do you believe it or not?"

"..."

Cheng Yaojin was speechless for a moment, his eyes looked up and down at Li Ji in amazement.

Your Majesty's will?
His Majesty has passed away, and the coffin is placed in the tent behind the tent of the Central Army. Usually, Zhu Suiliang accompanies him day and night and is in charge of all affairs... At this time, do you tell me that it is His Majesty's will?
However, based on what he knew about Li Ji, this man did not have much ambition, and he would not play any conspiracy to usurp the throne. So if what he said was true... Does it mean that His Majesty expected Chang'an before he died? Because of the situation, there is some entrustment or order to Li Ji?
Surprised in his heart, he frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he frightened the entire army with a strong hand, it was impossible for the army to order and ban it forever. The rumors that are emerging in the army now show that some people can't bear it anymore and refuse to continue to sit and watch the Chang'an rebellion. Want to participate in it for profit.

Among them, Guanlong soldiers are the main ones, but they are definitely not limited to Guanlong soldiers...

If he gets the sincere cooperation of Cheng Yaojin, he will be able to control the entire army steadily, suppress all those who have ulterior motives, and execute the orders given to him step by step.

He took a deep breath and finally asked, "If there is a rebellion in the army, will you be able to stand on my side?"
