Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 78 My son Chengdao is still alive! He will make the King of Qin pay the price!

Changsun Wuji thought about it and replied, "It's possible."

"Although Li Chengdao returned with endless hatred, he is still your son and has been very filial to you ten years ago."

"The word 'filial piety' is of great importance in the entire Han culture. For example, Xu Shu in the Three Kingdoms period gave up his ardent support for Liu Bei and joined Cao Cao just to save his mother."

"As long as you nod and persuade them to surrender, I will take care of the rest."

Changsun Wuji seemed to be prepared.

Zheng Guanyin was about to answer, but Zhangsun Wuji spoke again: "Crown Princess, please know that the lives of many innocent people in the Tang Dynasty now depend on your thoughts."

"For example, when Chai Shao died this time, did you think that only Chai Shao died? No, not really. Many people died this time, more than 6,000 soldiers died."

"Behind them, there are families and children. How miserable would it be for those people to lose the pillars of their families? I'm sure you can understand this kind of torture better since you lost the Crown Prince and raised your daughter alone."

"If you don't persuade them to surrender, then these six thousand people are just the beginning. More people will die in the future, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also your son's Dayan soldiers."

"This land will be devastated by countless casualties, and all lives will be destroyed. So... it all depends on your decision. As long as you persuade Li Chengdao to surrender, I can also petition His Majesty to allow you and your daughter to return and reunite with Li Chengdao."

"I wonder what you, Crown Princess, think?"

The words fell.

Changsun Wuji observed Zheng Guanyin and thought that there would be hesitation or even thought on Zheng Guanyin's face, but he only saw determination and calmness.

Li Chang'e's eyes became brighter when she heard that she could meet her elder brother Li Chengdao.

"Master Changsun, I want to ask you, did many people know about the East Palace Incident?"

Zheng Guanyin held her daughter in her arms and asked indifferently.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: "Many people in Chang'an City know about it, but not many people outside of Chang'an know about it."

"We in the Qin Palace suppressed the news, and I was personally responsible for this."

Many people know this, it's not a big secret.

Zheng Guanyin also knew that
The reason she asked again was to extend the next sentence.

"Yes, yes~ They all know. So, did they ever do anything for the Eastern Palace back then?"

Changsun Wuji was silent.

He seemed to understand Zheng Guanyin's choice.

there,

Zheng Guanyin was still speaking.

"No, they didn't do anything."

"In the face of the Donggong Incident, they chose to stand by and watch. Of course, they were just small-time people and couldn't do anything, but I don't care about that. They didn't do anything about the Donggong Incident. This is what I saw with my own eyes."

"They have never helped the Eastern Palace, nor have they helped me, let alone my child. Why should I... protect them?"

Zheng Guanyin’s meaning is very clear.

She supports Li Chengdao and wants revenge on Li Shimin!
Even if endless wars break out in the future and countless people die as a result, she will still support Li Chengdao!

"They... are innocent, and after this internal strife, the Li family might be seriously injured and others might take over the world. As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, can't you see this?"

Changsun Wuji asked again.

"Can't you see? Haha, hahahaha!"

Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but laugh out loud, and her originally gentle appearance gradually became crazy because of the crazy laughter. "The Li family's internal strife was taken advantage of by others? Why didn't your master Li Shimin think of this ten years ago?"

"He did attack my husband, and what happened afterwards also proved that the fisherman really existed."

"The Turks marched southwards and ravaged Youzhou. Nine out of ten houses in Youzhou were deserted, and hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at the gates of Chang'an. During that period, it was almost... just almost, the Tang Dynasty was about to be destroyed!"

"When Li Shimin launched the coup, didn't he think of this? Impossible! He definitely thought of this! He is the war god of the Tang Dynasty. His agility and sense of smell for war are sharper than anyone else. He definitely thought of this."

"But he still started the civil strife. He ignored the risk of the Tang Dynasty being destroyed and started the civil strife! Now my son is just following his old path. Why do you think...I will stand on your side and persuade my son to surrender?"

Speaking of last,
Zheng Guanyin's sharp eyes under her crazy appearance looked straight at Changsun Wuji.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji actually felt a sense of oppression.

For ten years,
He has been here at least dozens of times.

But Zheng Guanyin gave him the feeling of always being so gentle.

This attitude was the first time he had seen it.

This is... the real sense of oppression, which comes from the crushing oppression of the superior over the inferior!
He is the Duke!

But I still feel such pressure.

This made Changsun Wuji subconsciously think of ten years ago, when he was not yet a duke, but just an aide to the Prince of Qin's Palace, and Zheng Guanyin was already the Crown Princess.

During those days,

When he saw Zheng Guanyin, he also felt an endless sense of oppression from Zheng Guanyin.

It’s like...a dream back to those days!

Gudong….
Subconsciously, Changsun Wuji swallowed.

"Don't you think that Li Chengdao will die? His opponent is the King of Qin!"

"Back then, the combined power of the Crown Prince and the Emperor was no match for the King of Qin. Why do you think he can defeat the King of Qin?"

Changsun Wuji spoke loudly to her.

Zheng Guanyin said coldly: "I don't know who will win or lose between my son and the King of Qin. I only know... my son's choice is to take revenge on the King of Qin!"

"This is his choice. He has grown up and is the only man in this family. As a mother, I will only support his idea!"

"Besides, no matter how powerful the King of Qin is, he will eventually fail! The man who will overthrow or even defeat the King of Qin is very simple, why can't it be my son Chengdao?"

"You...you!" Changsun Wuji was so angry that he was out of breath.

"Your son will never succeed. Humph! Since you are so ungrateful, then in the future, just wait for me to bring you your son's head!"

"I will let him meet you properly, but... you will see his dead body!"

"In this Tang Dynasty, or even in this land, no one can defeat the King of Qin. No one!!!"

Changsun Wuji shouted loudly, then walked away angrily with a flick of his sleeves.

He already knew what Zheng Guanyin was thinking. Since there was no agreement between them, there was no need to say anything more. Since he did not want to persuade Li Chengdao to surrender on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to say anything more.

He left in a rage.

After he left, the originally cold Zheng Guanyin gradually became gentle, and then stroked her daughter's hair: "Chang'e, are you weird?"

"If we had persuaded your eldest brother to surrender, we could have met as a family of three, but mother ruined it all."
