Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3874 Remorse is hard to bear
The most embarrassing one was Li Siwen.

As the general of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace and the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince, he fought bloody battles in this Taiji Palace, vowing to defend the Zhengshuo Empire with his death. However, his father commanded an army of hundreds of thousands of Chen Bing at Tongguan, and sat and watched the rebels in Chang'an City wreak havoc. , Dong Gong Liu rate struggling to support...

If in the end he fought hard and died, but his father led the army into the city and destroyed the East Palace, then what would his sacrifice be worth?
Li Jing got up, stepped forward and patted Li Siwen on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I have worked with the British public for many years, and I know his temperament and ambitions well. There is no need to doubt the crown prince's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, don't worry about what the British Duke has in mind, we will fight here without regard for our lives, and we will be worthy of the heaven and the earth and the people, that's enough!"

The ghost knows what Li Ji's plan is, but at this moment, he must appease these generals and convince them that all the sacrifices are worthwhile.

Otherwise, how can we fight this battle?
Of course, the complaints about Li Ji in my heart are indispensable.

As he himself said, he thinks he knows a lot about Li Ji's character, and he never believes that Li Ji is so obsessed with power. His official career deposes the prince and establishes a new crown prince to achieve the so-called goal of monopolizing power. Li Ji is not like that at all. people.

However, since Li Ji withdrew his troops from Liaodong, he had delayed his return. After arriving in Tongguan, he stood still and watched from the sidelines, allowing the rebels to wreak havoc. Obviously, his preparations had gone beyond the definition of "loyal minister"...

What the hell is that guy trying to do?
*****
But at the moment in Tongguan, Li Ji is sitting with Zhu Suiliang in the government office, a copper hot pot is burning on the table, and the thinly sliced ​​mutton is dipped in the hot soup with chopsticks and dipped in the sauce Put it in your mouth, listening to the wind and rain outside the window, it is very pleasant.

Chu Suiliang swallowed a mouthful of mutton, looked at Li Ji, and sighed: "If you can accompany it with a good wine at this moment, it will be extremely delicious."

Li Ji lowered his head to boil the meat, and said helplessly: "It's useless to hint, only the remaining jar of good wine was killed by those two, so I can conjure up another jar for you? This is a cloudy world." It would be nice to have a bite of meat in the rain.”

Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Tongguan. The biggest problem was the consumption of daily food, fodder and vegetables. This almost drained more than ten prefectures and counties inside and outside Tongguan. It is not easy for the commander-in-chief of an army to have a bite of meat and vegetables.

Chu Suiliang took a sip of tea, took a chopstick of meat and put it in the boiling soup for a few times, picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, chewed, and said: "Fortunately, there are only a few days to wait. gone."

Li Ji paused, put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, looked at him with a frown, and asked, "Why did you say that?"

Chu Suiliang swallowed the mutton, and said: "Just now, someone from Guanlong came to deliver a letter, asking me to notify you immediately if I notice any changes in you, so that I can make preparations. It can be seen from this that Changsun Wuji plans to I put all my eggs in one basket, I have nothing to hold back, I am afraid that you will steal my way out. Changsun Wuji can't stand it anymore, so he can only fight to the death, and no matter who wins or loses, this mutiny will come to an end."

Between the words, there is endless sigh.

Except for Li Ji and a few others, no one knows what kind of psychological torture he suffered on the way back to Chang'an with the army. Many times, the strong pressure even made him breathless, and he gave birth more than once. An all-encompassing thought of despair.

With the end of the mutiny and the end of the chaos, his torment and torment will be over. When the time comes, it will be life or death, and it will be up to you...

Li Ji continued to boil the meat, mouthful after mouthful, speechless for a while.

Why didn't he suffer a lot?

With hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, he has to face the accusations and questioning of those arrogant soldiers every day, and he has to worry all the time whether someone will secretly collude with his official career to make him the commander, or even cause a mutiny, causing Hundreds of thousands of troops all collapsed.

Once a scene like him happened, he couldn't absolve himself of the blame.

However, I have been unable to give a reasonable explanation to the generals under my command. These generals are inevitably suspicious and full of various guesses. It's hard to say whether they will make an all-or-nothing decision.

If it hadn't been for suppressing Qiu Xiaozhong and other generals from Guanlong in advance, and killing chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid someone would have confronted him, the temporary commander, by now.

Even so, these generals may be planning to overthrow and replace him in one fell swoop...

Benefits, loyalty, justice, betrayal... When these factors are mixed together, no one can predict what shocking choices those generals will make.

So, if this mutiny is really coming to an end, Zhu Suiliang is not the only one who will be liberated?
The burden he is about to unload is even greater and heavier...

He swallowed the meat, put two green vegetables into the boiling soup, lowered his head, and asked, "Is there any movement over there?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's very calm, there's nothing unusual about it."

Li Ji was silent for a while, and then asked: "Where are the two monks who practice alchemy?"

Chu Suiliang said: "I stayed in the barracks all day long and saw no one."

The boiling soup in the hot pot was gurgling, and Li Ji said in a low voice, "Keep an eye on those monks. If they take a step away from the camp, come and notify them immediately."

Chu Suiliang was startled, looked around, leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Ji and said, "Are you crazy? Do you want to attack them?"

Li Ji put the green vegetables into a bowl, looked at Zhu Suiliang coldly, and said calmly: "Don't search for my motives, and don't try to influence my movements...just remember, all the clans in the world can exempt your clans I am the only one who destroys the family and is in danger."

Chu Suiliang trembled all over, and after a long while, he nodded slightly with a dead face, but couldn't speak.

He is now marching towards death every step of the way, and the heinous crimes he committed are enough to kill his entire family and spread the disaster to the three clans.As Li Ji said, he is the only one in the world who can save the Chu family and help the Chu family to continue their bloodline so that the blood lineage and descendants will not be cut off...

Therefore, facing Li Ji's request, he could not refuse, nor did he dare to refuse.

Li Ji looked at his expression coldly, and said a word of relief: "Believe me, although you have made a big mistake, it is not unforgivable. As long as I firmly support you, you will not have to die."

Chu Suiliang could only nod his head, but couldn't say a word.

There are many regrets and mixed flavors in my heart, and the delicious mutton is no longer fragrant...

Seeing him like this, Li Ji shook his head, but didn't say any more.

I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?
He picked up the greens and was about to put them in his mouth, when he turned around suddenly, he saw an old eunuch in neat clothes and white beard standing at the door, with his own soldiers bowing and standing on both sides, not only did he not dare to stop him, he didn't even ask a question dare……

The old eunuch stood silently at the door, only looking at Li Jiyou with his white eyes, his eyes were cold and deep, and there was no trace of anger...

Li Ji's heart trembled, he put down his chopsticks, nodded at Chu Suiliang, got up, adjusted his clothes, and then walked quickly to the door.

The old eunuch had already turned around, holding an umbrella, and walked outside the door amidst the wind and rain.

Li Ji also took the umbrella from his own soldiers and opened it, followed behind, submerged in the wind and rain one by one...

Chu Suiliang withdrew his gaze from the door, stared at the candlelight on the table in a daze, his eyes seemed out of focus, until the candlelight illuminated his eyes, and then he retracted his gaze, raised his hand to rub his sunken cheek vigorously Rubbed, then covered his face and let out a long sigh.

The remorse in my heart is hard to bear, if Changsun Wuji hadn't threatened and lured him back then, why would he have made such a rebellious decision and made such a big mistake?If Changsun Wuji appeared in front of him at this moment, he wished he could jump forward and bite the opponent's throat, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and bite him to death.
Especially now that Guan Long is on the verge of extinction, and the sons of Changsun Wuji are going to die in battle or be captured one by one. The grandson's family, which used to be prosperous in the past, is now withered heirs and blood, which makes him relieve his hatred!
However, even if the eldest grandson's family is completely destroyed, what does it do for the eldest grandson Wuji to reap the fruits of his own retribution and become extinct in the world?He was forced by his eldest grandson Wuji to poison His Majesty at the beginning, he has made a big mistake and has no chance to repent.

Pain and regret gnawed at his heart, and tears flowed between his fingers.

A misstep becomes an eternal hate.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place?
