The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 960

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs saw that Li Jiancheng was lying on the bed hunched over. This is His Majesty the Emperor who had just ascended the throne a few days ago.

In just a few days, Li Jiancheng has completely changed. He is skinny, with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a face like yellow money paper without any color.His eyes were dull, his movements were difficult, and his speech was weak.

It seems that the torment of injuries to people is simply a kind of torture. In fact, Li Jiancheng's physical injuries are still secondary in the past few days, and his spiritual injuries are also too much for him.

The smug Li Jiancheng wanted to become the overlord of the world, but he couldn't think of it. He would lose in this battle without any suspense, and he would lose all his money. Now the palace is gone, the capital is gone, and the state is gone. The jade seal with the supreme imperial power is gone.

Now, apart from resentment and anger, he is remorse. He resents that he and his subordinates are useless. Tens of thousands of horses and a series of tricks, but they can't deal with Yang Yong's few people, let alone beheading Yang Yong and others. No one was caught; he resented those frontier soldiers and the thousands of troops from the states and counties, why Yang Yong's two volunteers were allowed to cross the Yellow River and drive straight in; he resented the injustice of God!

He regretted that he should not form a clique with his brother, fight openly and secretly, which made Yang Yong's conspiracy succeed, and caused a large area of ​​the Tang Dynasty to fall into the hands of the rebels; The country and the country of the Tang Dynasty; he regretted that God was not open, and suffered such a tragedy when he first took the throne.

They lost Bingzhou and fled without finishing the count. Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong led an army of 10,000+ and clung to them. They chased for several hours, and countless Tang soldiers either died on the battlefield or became prisoners.

The running around for the past few days has also aggravated Li Jiancheng's injuries.Apart from coma, when he woke up, he would beat his feet and beat his chest when he thought of these things, and the pain was so painful that he became like this in just a few days.

Li Jiancheng saw these civil and military officials, and now there is only such a pitiful lineup of officials left in the past. His nose was sore and he cried, his lips trembled slightly, and as he opened and closed, he made a weak voice, "My dear family, we How many people are there now?"

Chai Shen, Yang Wengan and the others hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, including the Lizhou soldiers, there are still 3 people."

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he closed his eyes in pain, and his eyes were filled with tears.This time he cried completely. Of course he knows that Lizhou is an important border town, and 2 soldiers and horses are stationed here all the year round. That is to say, they fled all the way from Bingzhou. There are 800 people left. This battle is too miserable!

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was very sad, Chai Shen quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't think so much, victory or defeat is a common matter in military strategists, and it is important to take care of the dragon's body. Although we lost badly this time, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. After His Majesty recovers, we will gather our men to fight back, and let Bandit Yang pay back his blood!"

Li Jiancheng sighed softly and shook his head, "Don't comfort me, Mr. Chai, Mr. Chai listens."

When Chai Shen heard this, he quickly knelt down and shook his robes.

Li Jiancheng may have realized that his end is not far away, so he said in a low voice: "I entrust you with the post of Prime Minister and Prime Minister. From today onwards, you will be my prime minister. After returning to heaven, Xiangfu will be in charge of all the government and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, inherit my will, fulfill my last wish, wipe out the Yang bandits, and rule Huayi."

Chai Shen was overwhelmed by flattery, not because of his own promotion, but because Li Jiancheng's remark was a great disadvantage. Of course he knew that Li Jiancheng was arranging the funeral.

He kowtowed gratefully, "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty will get better soon. I will do my best to assist Your Majesty in suppressing the thieves, and I will spare no effort."

Li Jiancheng sighed again, "I know my illness myself..." After a pause, he said to the people behind Chai Shen, "Have you all heard what I said?"

These people also all knelt down, "I wait to obey the order, I am willing to take the orders of your majesty and the prime minister, and do my best to suppress the thieves, and I will spare no effort."

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, making them all get up.

Li Jiancheng was entrusted to the orphan, and Chai Shen felt that the mountain was overwhelmed, "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and weak, and his knowledge is limited. I am afraid that he will be entrusted with a heavy burden. What should we do now, please tell Your Majesty clearly."

"Father Xiang is too modest, Father Xiang is resourceful, I want to hear Father Xiang's opinion."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is now at the point of life and death. Forgive me, the old minister, with our current strength, it is difficult to stop the bandits' iron hooves. We need foreign aid and seek internal strength. The Turks are strong, so we might as well contact the Turks and fight against the bandits together... ..."

Before Chai Shen could finish speaking, Li Jiancheng interrupted him, "The father's words are wrong. If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. It is also not advisable to lure wolves into the house and send meat to wolves. After I leave, you It is necessary to guard against Turkic tigers and wolves, but also to guard against Yang thieves. If you can abide by the rules at this pass, if you can’t defend it, just abandon it. Save your strength. Even if you haunt the mountains and forests, there will be a day when you make a comeback... The biggest mistake I have made in my life The thing is to lure wolves into the house and kill each other, so that the thief Yang can take advantage of it. You must not repeat the same mistakes again. You can visit the whereabouts of the father and the people. If God has eyes, if they are still alive, you must Falling leaves return to their roots, if it is the opposite, you can unite with Luo Yi and his son, and you must not seek refuge with the Turkic barbarians, because this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst."

Chai Shen was somewhat disapproving, and boldly said: "Your Majesty, if the old lord and the King of Qin are still alive, it will certainly be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty. If they go west by crane, in my humble opinion, Luo Song and Luo Yi are also father and son. We There has been a deadly grudge with Luo Song's mother and son. The Luo family father and son are violent and moody. Now we go to the Luo family father and son. If we can't be ignored by them, we will be killed by them. Things. Turks, although they are wolves in the world, have a deep hatred with Yang Yong. From this aspect, we have a common enemy, which can be regarded as a strength that we can use. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

After listening to Chai Shen's words, Li Jiancheng's face became more and more ugly, and he coughed, and said for a long time, "The father is not good. Although the Luo family has some grievances with my Tang Dynasty, he is still a Han Chinese, and he is still from the Tang Dynasty. Subjects, while the Turkic people are dead, our Han people are not dead, we Han people are either slaves or puppets to the Turkic people, and there will never be a third situation." He said and looked at Yang Wenqian, "Yang Aiqing, do you think my analysis is correct?"
