Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3996 Emperor's mind

His Majesty Li Er angrily scolded: "The two kings are my flesh and blood, they are favored by the heavens, and they are the blood of the most respected in the world. How can they suffer a little harm? If you curse my son again, you will never forgive me!"

That kid Fang Jun is very ghostly, since he welcomed the two kings into the camp, how could he not have imagined that someone would resort to such a poisonous trick of counting birds with one stone?Strict precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the two kings. Wang Shoushi's insiders may not even be able to get close to the two kings, let alone poison them. The possibility of success is almost impossible.

Seeing Wang Shoushi's look of a servant with lowered eyebrows and slumped shoulders, His Majesty Li Er became more and more angry. Isn't this a proper image of a traitor?With such a treacherous minister beside him making plans, wouldn't he become a stupid and tyrannical lord like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou?
It just doesn't make sense.

Wang Shoushi felt a little wronged, he felt that this plan was very good, but it was a pity that His Majesty pretended to be serious and refused to adopt it, if he had thought of this plan before and acted on his own without reporting, at this moment, he would have already solved all of His Majesty's difficulties in one fell swoop .

As for whether he will be executed by Ling Chi afterwards, quartered by five horses, etc., he doesn't care at all. As His Majesty's eagle dog, he has protected His Majesty in the dark for many years, and he has already regarded himself as carrion. What is there to be afraid of?

However, His Majesty Li Er had already stated his position, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has taught you the lesson. It is an old slave who speaks out of his mouth and deserves death."

His Majesty Li Er just snorted, and warned: "Stop saying such words again, if I hear them from other places, I will definitely take your skin off!"

Wang Shoushi bowed his head, his head almost fell to his feet, and said in fear and fear, "Damn it, slave!"

He understands why His Majesty Li Er gave such a serious warning. The current situation in Chang'an is unstable, the various forces are fighting openly and secretly, and all kinds of methods are used to the extreme. Maybe they don't have the same idea as him, and hit the idea on the right guard. On the two Highnesses.If his remonstrance today came out, and someone happened to attack the two Highnesses tomorrow, even if His Majesty Li Er jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear up the suspicion of "using father to destroy son".

After all, who knows whether His Majesty Li Er has listened to his advice?

……

The tall gate tower of Chunming Gate looked more majestic and majestic under the gloomy sky. The towering gate tower seemed to be inserted straight into the cloud and stood upright. His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes, his heart was surging.

At the beginning of spring last year, hundreds of thousands of troops marched eastward with a mighty momentum that shook the world. The emperor himself even marched in person, vowing to pacify Liaodong and destroy Goguryeo with all the power of the country.Among them, it has the intention of cutting off hidden dangers on the frontier and destroying powerful enemies, but it also has the intention of demonstrating to Emperor Sui Yang.

Thinking back to the time when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had great prestige in Wenzhi and martial arts, he was like a hero of a generation, and even the light of his father Emperor Wen's unification of the world was covered up. The momentary national power of the Sui Dynasty caused all forces in the country to scramble, and bandits and bandits grew everywhere in the smoke of war, until the great empire collapsed suddenly.

Now Li Tang inherits the Great Sui Dynasty, and even more upholds his aspirations. If he and Li Er can overthrow Goguryeo in one fell swoop, both Wenzhi and martial arts can go far beyond Sui Yang Emperor, and he can conquer Liaodong, a land that has never been truly included in the Han family in history. In the future, there may not be no chance to surpass Qin Huang, Han Wu, and achieve the great ambition of one emperor through the ages!

It's a pity that the ambition was so ambitious, but it fell short in the end. There were bloody battles in the city of Ping Rang, but he was still unable to break through the city. His own fall and injury made his morale low.

Unexpectedly, when the overall situation was settled, under the command of Su Dingfang, the navy broke through the city in one fell swoop, completely captured Pingrang City in a few days, Yuangai Suwen committed suicide, and Goguryeo was destroyed...

what is this? !He was a majestic emperor, and he personally conquered Pingrang City with all the power of the country. As a result, a mere navy accomplished what hundreds of thousands of troops could not accomplish... This made Fang Jun and his direct troops who acquiesced to the various forces at the beginning How could His Majesty Li Er, who was excluded from the sequence of the Eastern Expedition, feel so embarrassed?

If it was someone with a brazen face, he might follow the navy into the city with a shy face and take the results of the battle of destroying the city and destroying the country as his own. After all, if there were no hundreds of thousands of troops fighting all the way from Liaodong to the city of Pingrang, how could the navy be as trembling? ?When it is announced to the world, this meritorious service will be recorded on the head of His Majesty Li Er.

But His Majesty Li Er is different. He has done too many confessions and criticisms in his life, such as killing brothers and brothers, forcing his father to abdicate, and robbing brothers, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law... When he was young, he firmly believed in success and defeat, and disdained it At first glance, but as he grows older and his position is stable, he cares more about face, especially the evaluation of him in future history books...

Coupled with the sudden incident of poisoning, he simply let the navy toss in Liaodong in a fit of rage, pretended to be dead by pretending to be injured, and sneaked back to Chang'an to solve the chronic diseases in the country at one stroke...

However, countless schemes were used to win his fame, but in the end, he still failed to complete all his efforts.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er turned his head and glanced at Li Ji who was riding with the prince behind the car, couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly, and his anger rose sharply.

Has he ever thought that the person he trusts the most and who has been firmly in his hands would actually go against his will at the last moment?
In front, two groups of cavalry with dozens of men galloped forward. They reined in their horses and stood still a hundred paces away. The leader shouted loudly: "My minister welcomes His Majesty back to Beijing!"

His Majesty Li Er stood on the top and looked down. Seeing that it was Cheng Yaojin, he snorted coldly in his heart and waved his hands casually.

Among the ministers of Zhenguan, there are more or less inclinations towards the affiliation of the crown prince, some support the prince, some favor the king of Wei, or they are optimistic about the king of Jin, and their positions are inevitably biased.Only Cheng Yaojin has never been involved in the matter of the crown prince. He has always treated the crown prince with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and treated the two kings of Wei and Jin with courtesy. He has a neutral stand and is impartial. ——Since you are a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, why bother to mix up the ownership of the reserve?He, the emperor, was in his prime in spring and autumn, and it wasn't that he was in his seventies and eighties, and his days were running out. Everyone was vying to serve the future emperor. Where would he be placed, Li Er?
However, Cheng Yaojin, who was the most neutral when he heard the news of his "death", couldn't help but waded into this muddy water...

A group of people on the left shouted loudly: "The last general Gao Kan, welcome Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Gao Kan who was kneeling on the ground, and then raised his eyes to look at Yan Zhengzheng, the guard on the right north side of Chunming Gate, feeling even more hesitant.

He knew that the right guards were very strong in battle. Back then when the soldiers came out of the Bai Dao and the fall of Xue Yantuo was shocking to the world, everyone praised Fang Jun's meritorious deeds as comparable to Li Jing's. ?The most important reason why the rampage in Mobei is like entering no one's land is that the Youtunwei, who is equipped with a large number of firearms, is powerful.

But His Majesty Li Er never thought that Youtunwei would be so tyrannical. Half of them followed Fang Jun to expedition to the Western Regions. Led by Gao Kan in front of him, he defended the Xuanwu Gate like a fortress, successively defeated Chai Zhewei's Zuo Tunwei and Li Yuanjing's royal army, and fought several battles with the Guanlong army ten times larger than himself, winning consecutive battles...

A right guard not only protects the Western Regions that the Sui and Tang dynasties have spent countless blood piercing through, but also protects the Eastern Palace like a magic needle that fixes the sea.

Having such an army is a blessing to the empire; but the object of such an army's allegiance is the prince, which is enough to become the emperor's worry. If one day this army repeats the "Xuanwu Gate Change", look around Chang'an , Which other army can compete with it?
Not to mention that there is a six-leader in the East Palace who is finally the crown prince. He has also been tempered by the flames of war, and he is commanded by a master of military art like Li Jing...

The carriage didn't stop, and drove straight to Chunming Gate. His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath, and his agitated heart gradually calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, the situation in Chang'an is unprecedentedly complicated, and the power held by the prince is even more powerful. The prince who betrayed his relatives is no longer Amon under Wu, and his wings are gradually full. Even in the days when Li Er "died", he was still able to support this huge empire.

As we approach Chunming Gate, we can already see more and more people rushing out of the city, staying by the moat, or simply rushing to Yujia, coming and going, hustle and bustle. When he learned that His Majesty was returning to Beijing, he was shocked and hurried out of the city to welcome him.

"Baiqisi" and the Jingzhao government can block ordinary people, but they can't block people like them...

Wang Shoushi saw that many officials who came forward to pay homage were blocked by the "Xuanjia Cavalry" and had to go back to the two sides of the city gate to wait, so he stood behind His Majesty Li Er and said cautiously: "The news of His Majesty's return to Beijing has spread in the city. The hearts of the people are very strong, and I think they will flock to the streets to celebrate. It's just that the people's emotions are too enthusiastic, and some stampedes may happen... The prince is responsible for supervising the country, but he is outside Chang'an at the moment. He was able to plan well in advance so that innocent people would not be killed."

The crown prince is in charge of supervising the country. No matter what happens in Chang'an city, the crown prince is the first person responsible. At this juncture when His Majesty returns to Beijing, if something goes wrong, he will be impeached by the censor, and even the people in the city will criticize him. slander.

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a while, and murmured: "Did innocent people suffer..."

Immediately, I thought of "one general's success will last forever", if the plan in my heart can be achieved, even if a few people are sacrificed, what's the point?
The rain was getting heavier and thicker, and the fine raindrops were already connected together, but His Majesty Li Er's face became more and more flushed, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and he was a little excited.

A few fast horses rushed out from Chunming Gate, and arrived at the front of the "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry". After being stopped by soldiers, they showed their waist badges and seals, and then they were allowed to go. One of them hurried to the front of the imperial driver, and reported a few words to Wang Shoushi. Immediately the color changes.
