Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3918
In the gurgling night rain, the large tent of the Central Army of the Right Tunwei was brightly lit with candles. There was a floor mat near the window, a coffee table was placed on it, a pot of hot tea, and several dishes of snacks. Talk at night.

Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, clicked his lips, tasted the sweetness, and said with emotion: "This time I really escaped from death, and every time I think about it, I feel like I am alive after a catastrophe."

He is the kind of person with an extremely delicate and sensitive mind. Although these years have been shrouded in the shadow of "Yi Chu" all the time, and the lives of his family are often at risk of being overthrown, he still has not tempered his nerves to be strong and strong.

Not long ago when he personally went to the Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Shigui's life and death were in Zhang Shigui's hands. As long as Zhang Shigui guarded the city gate and fired random arrows, he, the crown prince, would have to pierce his heart with thousands of arrows and die...

The success or failure of life and death is decided in an instant.

It's so exciting...

Fang Jun poured tea for him, and said warmly: "It is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. This time, the Guanlong rebellion has ten times more troops than mine, and the situation is precarious. The East Palace was on the verge of defeat several times, but it turned defeat into victory again and again. Now it is even more successful. A game that must be won, it can be seen that His Highness's destiny belongs to him, and whether he will come here to create a grand plan and a great cause."

People have good luck, and the state owns the fortune of the country. This is a mysterious and mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, but no one can deny its existence.

Especially in ancient times when there was an extreme lack of understanding of the laws of nature, the energy connoted by the mere words "God's destiny" sometimes even far exceeded a hundred thousand troops.

Li Chengqian laughed, and he was extremely impassioned: "This time I encountered a mutiny. I was shocked three times a day and couldn't sleep at night. If Erlang and all the officials of the Eastern Palace had not tried their best to help, I would have been defeated and deposed, and my head was in a different place. I am not a person with lofty aspirations. In the past, I only thought about Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, so that I could keep the foundation created by my father and have a clear conscience. However, today, Gu is filled with emotion. , to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and even go a step further, how can I be worthy of you virtuous ministers?"

He raised his teacup and said: "Today, replace wine with tea, and offer a toast to Erlang, and hereby make an oath that as long as Erlang lives up to his solitary, solitary will never be burdened by him!"

These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Facing the aggression of the rebels inside the inner gate, he would be overthrown at any time. The torment in his heart was indescribable.Once he escaped from birth and the situation reversed, the emotion brought by the huge contrast made him feel infinitely embarrassed.

He naturally knows that all of this today is from Fang Jun who rushed thousands of miles from the Western Regions to help Chang'an. Food and fodder broke through the Golden Light Gate, which completely reversed the situation.

From the beginning when he expressed his support for the East Palace, until now he has devoted all his energy and blood to the East Palace and for his prince, pushing him step by step from the edge of the "deposed prince" to the position of about to ascend the throne. He is naturally grateful in his heart.

Not only is he not a heartless person, but on the contrary, he is extremely emotional and extremely sensitive in his heart. He will naturally remember clearly who treats him well.

Fang Jun also raised his glass, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, the change of dynasties has been an unchanging rule. Even if at its peak, it conquers the world and conquers the world, but its prosperity and decline are the fate of the dynasty. Your Highness is kind and loving, and you should know that every When the dynasties change, the most suffering and the most difficult are the people in the world. Most of the civilizations created by the dynasties in the past two or three hundred years are destroyed by the flames of war and cannot be passed on. Waiting for the fate of the dynasty to continue the inheritance of our Great Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, so that our Chinese civilization will continue from generation to generation! Only in this way will we live up to this life!"

"what?!"

Li Chengqian was startled, holding his teacup at a loss for a while.

Since there are historical records, the Xia and Shang have 500 years each, and the Zhou Dynasty has 800 years. Since the establishment of the emperor by the first emperor, the Qin dynasty died in only 15 years, and the Han dynasty was usurped by Wang Mang for 400 years. Lazy and cut off, the two Jin Dynasties were 50 and 50 years old, and the prosperous Sui Dynasty was less than [-] years old... Every founding emperor imagined that his family would last forever when he established a grand hegemony among the thorns. Wu has never reached such a point.

Throughout the dynasties, many insightful people have studied the cause deeply, but most of them do not seek a deep understanding, and only attribute it to general statements such as "the world will always be divided for a long time."

But I didn't expect Fang Junzhi's ambition to be so lofty...

Seeing how shocked he was, Fang Jun smiled and said, "It's hard to say and easy to say that you want the dynasty to last forever and have an unbroken inheritance."

"Yi" only needs to decentralize the power and put the imperial power on the shelf, at least it can sit on the country for 800 years like the Zhou Dynasty, and it will not be difficult to escape the shackles of 300 years.

"Difficulty" is extremely difficult at the peak of power, and it is extremely difficult for someone to give up. Once you enjoy the pleasure of killing and deciding, and controlling all beings, you can't break free...

Perhaps, the "cabinet system" in the late Ming Dynasty was a good way to break the situation.

Of course, just relying on a "cabinet system" is not enough...

The two monarchs and ministers sipped tea, ate snacks, gave pointers to the country, and imagined the future. When the topic turned to the reconstruction of Chang'an after this mutiny, Li Chengqian sighed: "This mutiny not only exhausted the continuous development since Zhenguan. The national power has made the people in Guanzhong suffer catastrophe, if Erlang hadn't cared about the world and offered help based on benevolence, I am afraid that by the beginning of next spring, there will be no people in Guanzhong."

He heard about Fang Jun's mobilization of soldiers to form the "Royal Rescue Team", and he once praised Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and others.

Fang Jun knelt on the ground mat, put his hands on his lap, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and said with a bowed head: "I still want to ask His Highness for my sins, but without His Highness's permission, I ordered someone to set up a royal family" The rescue team. It was just that the situation was critical at that time, and there were countless people affected by the disaster in Guanzhong. In order to win the trust of the people, and to avoid the possible threat from the Guanlong army, they had to be named "Royal".

"What is Erlang's crime?"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said solemnly: "I dare not call myself a Mingjun, but I will not underestimate myself. I am much better than those stupid lords. Erlang's actions are not only for personal gain, but also let the people in Guanzhong feel the kindness of the royal family." , It is really a great achievement, but I am afraid that there will be no reward, so how can I blame it?"

The people in Guanzhong benefited from this incident, the royal family gained fame, and Fang Jun was the one who was worried about suffering. Such a loyal courtier should be rewarded, and he will definitely not blame him.

Fang Jun hurriedly delivered flattery words: "Your Highness is generous and has the style of His Majesty. It is really a blessing for all people! After this battle, the 'Royal Rescue Team' should be handed over to the East Palace, and His Highness will personally control it. Allocate money and food to continue to rescue the disaster victims all over the world, and all the people will sigh for the grace of His Highness."

The "Royal Rescue Team" matter is followed by the royal family, but it does not mean that Fang Jun will be rewarded for his contribution. After all, for the royal family, this method of "killing first and playing later" using the royal reputation as a means of promotion is extremely difficult to accept of.

There was a knock on the door.

The two monarchs and ministers stopped talking, Fang Jun said: "Come in!"

The tent door opened, and Cen Changqian quickly stepped inside. After going up to salute, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Marshal, General Gao Kan has led the heavy infantry to break through the West Market and arrived at Yanshoufang. The rebels who are about to come to reinforce Fight to the death. In addition, the Duke of Wei led the Six Commanders of the East Palace to fight every step of the way to lure the enemy deep. He had already retreated to the front line of the inner heavy gate. Just now, Duke Wei sent someone to send a message that as soon as General Gao Kan rushed to the front line of the Chengtian Gate, he would immediately lead the Six Commanders of the East Palace to counterattack. Catch all the rebels who entered the Taiji Palace to fight, and wipe them out!"

Li Chengqian was in high spirits, clapped his hands and said: "Okay! General Gao Kan is really brave, as long as he breaks through to Chengtian Gate and Donggong Six Rates to attack back and forth, this battle will be over!"

All the elites of Guan Long's army were placed in the Taiji Palace. Once they were surrounded and wiped out, Guan Long's backbone would be broken, and there would be no room for struggle and resistance.

How could he not be happy that the nearly one-year rebellion was finally coming to an end?

But Fang Jun frowned and said: "Your Highness, don't be too happy, don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of British troops stationed in Tongguan, and their position is still unclear until now."

He didn't know that the letter Cheng Yaojin sent him was deliberately done by Li Ji, even if he knew, he would not be optimistic about the current situation, thinking that Li Ji would take the prince's side for granted.

Because Li Ji seems to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, but right now the person in charge of the Eastern Expedition Army is not Li Ji...
