Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3899
Cheng Yaojin returned to the station, ordered people to prepare paper and pens, quickly wrote a letter, put it in the envelope and sealed it with wax, called his most trusted soldiers over, and ordered: "Take this letter and send it immediately." Rush to the outside of the Xuanwu Gate as quickly as possible, and hand it over to Duke Yue, and you must hand it over to him with your own hands, and you must never pass it on to someone else!"

"Here!"

The soldiers put the letter paper in their arms, turned around and went out, called two companions, and galloped south.

Standing at the door and watching the soldiers gallop away, Cheng Yaojin returned to the chair and sat down, stroked his beard, closed his eyes and meditated.

Judging from the battle report, Changsun Wuji put all his eggs in one basket and transferred the "Private Soldiers of Woye Town" into the city regardless of the emptiness of Jinguangmen's defense, focusing on attacking Chongmingmen. limited, even Li Jing could not mobilize enough troops for reinforcements.

In his opinion, it was almost inevitable that the Eastern Palace would be captured by the rebels...

Once the East Palace falls, the rebels can launch a fierce attack along the high wall connecting the East Palace and Taiji Palace. At that time, both the east and south sides will launch simultaneously to maximize the advantages of the rebel army in terms of strength.Cheng Yaojin thought and deduced carefully, but he couldn't think of a strategy for the Six Rates of the East Palace to defend against the enemy, and the fall of the entire Taiji Palace was inevitable.

The only variable is whether the right guards outside Xuanwu Gate can use their main force to raid Jinguangmen in time. Once they break through the rebel defense line outside Jinguangmen, they can enter Chang'an City and go straight to Yanshoufang and the imperial city. The back of the rebels.

Of course, Fang Jun was outside the Xuanwu Gate, and at the moment when Xuanwu Gate was blocked by Zhang Shigui and the news was not smooth, he had no way of knowing that the "Private Soldiers of Woye Town" had quietly entered Chang'an City to participate in the siege.Under such circumstances, Fang Jun had no reason and no courage to mobilize the main force to raid Jinguangmen, which caused Xuanwumen's defense to relax.

If Fang Jun could receive his message in time, the situation might be very different...

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, then sighed.

He is naturally loyal to His Majesty, but Li Ji hides and wants to hide the truth along the way, but in fact, who in the army does not doubt whether His Majesty is still alive?
Looking through the window to the direction of the city gate, the majestic figure of the city gate could not be seen clearly under the twilight of the morning light, but he knew that it was in the courtyard next to the government office, maybe it was not His Majesty who was staying, but His Majesty's coffin... …

Your Majesty may have left a will, and Li Ji's actions are all in accordance with the will, which is almost everyone's guess in the army, and Li Ji's various unreasonable orders and actions are enough to prove this point.

But what puzzles Cheng Yaojin is that if His Majesty is still alive, Li Jizun should follow His Majesty's will, even if His Majesty wants to depose the crown prince, even if His Majesty would rather allow the rebels to wreak havoc on Chang'an, even if His Majesty does not care about the life and death of the people in Guanzhong... But If His Majesty has already passed away, just relying on a will to sit back and watch the people in Guanzhong suffer from misery, and even cause the world to be unstable and the people to complain, this is not loyalty.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

What's more, His Majesty has already passed away and can't see the development of the situation at all. How can he take the will and follow it regardless of the changing situation and the bad political situation?
So in his opinion, Li Ji's seemingly determined behavior is either stupid or bad.

And Li Ji is naturally not stupid...

Cheng Yaojin would not openly violate Li Ji and His Majesty's imperial decree, but with his knowledge of the world, it is impossible to watch the Eastern Palace fall and fall, so it is understandable to use some small tricks behind the scenes.

The outcome is still undecided, no one dares to say what it will be like, what if Donggong Jedi counterattacks and changes his fate against the sky?
Besides, he didn't think that Li Ji was really willing to bear the infamy of conniving the rebels, and he would bear the black blame for His Majesty.

That bull-nosed drop is very...

*****
Facing the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him again, Zhang Shigui frowned, very displeased.

It's just that this man in black is not the one from before, so he can only suppress his displeasure, looking at him coldly, without saying a word.

The man in black was not tall, with his head held up slightly, with a haughty look on his face: "My ancestor ordered me to come and ask if the Duke of Guo is willing to resist the decree?"

Zhang Shigui frowned more and more, this is really different from the style of the dead soldiers in his impression. Every dead soldier is selected from thousands of people and has undergone the most rigorous training, so his personality is more cruel and cruel He is ruthless, this kind of ruthlessness is deep in his bones, and usually makes others almost ignore his existence, and only when the murderous intention suddenly appears will people notice it.

But the dead man in front of him was too arrogant...

But after thinking about it, this group of people followed the servants and hid in the depths of the palace without seeing the light of day for many years. Whether they were neglected in training or proud of themselves once they became successful, it was not difficult to understand.

The dead are also human beings, as long as they are human, they will inevitably have human emotions and six desires.

Seeing that Zhang Shigui remained silent, the man in black continued: "If you don't follow the order, disasters will inevitably happen to Duke Guo's family in Chang'an. I'm afraid it can only be under the Nine Springs."

As soon as the words fell, a strong murderous aura came to his face, Zhang Shigui was furious, and yelled: "Presumptuous! You are acting according to the emperor's order, and you should be panic-stricken and upright. Who in the world dares to disobey? Now you are acting like this!" Waiting for you to coerce me with vicious means, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

He didn't expect these people to do such dirty and insidious things, which made him extremely disappointed.

In his mind, how can the life and death of an individual, the life and death of his family compare with His Majesty's will and the righteousness of the magnificence?He is loyal to His Majesty and is willing to give up everything for His Majesty's will.But now those yin people are already using His Majesty's will to carry out private tricks, and what they do is for personal benefit.

If he really follows the will and destroys the Eastern Palace, and lets those yin people take over the power of the court, maybe the story of the Eastern Han Dynasty will be reproduced. Didn't he help the evildoer?

What was Li Ji thinking?

The head of the majestic prime minister was led by the nose by these shady people, he simply didn't know what it meant...

The man in black sneered "Hey", took a deep look at Zhang Shigui, turned around and left without saying anything.

When the man in black walked away, Zhang Shigui sat down slumped, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, his heart was full of conflict, embarrassment and anger.

What should I do?
Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, there are still many remnants of the former Sui Dynasty. What's more, the families in Shandong and Jiangnan have been suppressed by Guanlong since they entered the Tang Dynasty. The people are living in dire straits, how can these elites be willing to be mediocre?

Maybe they will rise up and gather together to copy the story of the end of the Sui Dynasty, causing chaos in the world.

If His Majesty saw such a scene, would he still insist on Yi Chu?
Foolish loyalty is also loyalty, but sometimes, it may become the greatest disloyalty...

……

The sky is already bright, and the rain has not stopped, but it is becoming more and more intense.

Li Siwen's armor was damaged in many places, his body was wounded, and he was soaked in blood. He led the soldiers under his command in a bloody battle against Chongming Gate.He joined the battle when he was ordered to come for reinforcements when the "Private Soldiers of Woye Town" attacked the city head-on. Until now, for more than two hours, he and his soldiers have not even had time to catch their breath, and have been fighting non-stop.

Under the city, although the "Private Soldiers of Woye Town" suffered heavy losses, they still rushed up like a tide. With their strong combat power, they brought huge casualties to the defenders. After that, he continued to launch a storm-like offensive towards the Chongming Gate.

There are fewer and fewer defenders on the city, and they have been trapped in the siege of the rebels for longer and longer periods of time, and it is becoming more and more difficult to repel the rebels who attacked the city...

Li Siwen knocked a rebel to the ground with a single knife, wiped the blood splattered on his face and the drenched rain, and hoarsely shouted at the soldiers around him: "Has the message for help been sent?"

The soldier next to him was holding a horizontal knife in his mouth, and was bandaging the other arm with one hand. A deep wound almost ran through his forearm, and blood spattered.The soldier's face turned pale, sweat mixed with rain dripped down, he finally bandaged the wound, took off the horizontal knife and held it in his hand, said: "I have gone to two groups of people, but there has been no reply."

The Sixth Commander of the East Palace lacks troops, and now the rebels are launching fierce attacks on Tianmen and Chongmingmen, so it is naturally difficult and stretched.

Li Siwen was heartbroken, brandished a horizontal knife, and rushed towards a rebel captain who had just climbed to the top of the wall with a loud roar: "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

If the earthen jars are not separated from the edge of the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. Even if he cannot defend the Chongming Gate today, he will die here in battle, leaving a mark in history!
