Chapter 3842 True Love in Adversity
For the Yuwen scholars and many Guanlong clans, the mutiny has reached the current level, and victory is already hopeless, and the best outcome is to be able to promote peace talks.In exchange for the complete collapse of the Changsun family in exchange for the lingering life of the rest of the Guanlongmen Clan, this also got Changsun Wuji's acquiescence...
It was the dedication and sacrifice of the Guanlong Clan that created the brilliance of Changsun Wuji and the Changsun family, and pushed him to the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty as the leader of Guanlong, under one person and above ten thousand people.
This mutiny was also driven by Changsun Wuji's will and force. At this stage, it is only natural to exchange the destruction of Changsun's family in exchange for the hope of survival of the rest of the Guanlongmen Clan.
But now, Changsun Wuji blatantly violated the previous tacit agreement with the Guanlong families, and assembled a large army to fight with the East Palace to the death.
What's more, he didn't think about retreating at all, and actually used the private army of the powerful clan who was lured to Guanzhong by him as bait to lure the right guards to take action to destroy them, so as to achieve the purpose of restraining the right guards and concentrate the most elite of Guanlong The power of the Taiji Palace stormed.
However, even so, all families in Guanlong could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, unable to tell what they were suffering, and did not dare to say "no" at all.
Now, the most elite troops in Guanlong are the Changsun family and the Yuwen family. Once the private armies of these two families give up the protection of the other families and devote themselves to the battle with the East Palace, then the private armies and all the industries will be destroyed. They will all face the ruthless mopping up of Youtunwei.
At such a moment, all the Guanlongmen factions have been coerced by Changsun Wuji, and there is no way to retreat, they can only follow him all the way forward.
Even if there is an abyss ahead.
Either life or death.
*****
The rumble of thunder from Chengtianmen spread to Taiji Palace. The six leaders of the East Palace were full of enthusiasm and looked at death as if they were home. One army after another marched to the front line. They were not afraid of the Guanlong rebels' strength, which was as many as several times. No heels.
Inside the heavy inner door, the roaring explosion caused dust to fall from the roof, and the ground trembled under the feet.
The concubines, princesses, and maids of honor had already heard about Guan Long's all-out attack, and they were all pale and trembling with fright.
Once Guan Long wins, even if the dynasty does not change, a massive purge within the royal family is inevitable.It is true that most of the people in Neizhongmen have a little relationship with the Guanlongmen Clan, but they can also be involved with all parties. Aya, maybe it's their final destination...
Li Chengqian sat peacefully in the back hall, sipping tea slowly, while the countless officials of the East Palace in the front hall came in and out to summarize the battle situation ahead and allocate armaments and supplies.
Seeing such a scene, the princess concubine who was kneeling beside him and cooking tea for him, her eyes were shining brightly, and her heart was full of admiration and admiration.
In the past, generosity and benevolence were the prince's labels, but at the same time, indecision, weakness and cowardice were also his shortcomings that were constantly criticized. For a prince, a man who is about to inherit a huge empire, it can be regarded as a fatal weakness.
As a woman, who doesn't want her man to be an upright man who can use his strong arms and broad chest to shield him from the wind and rain?However, the crown prince's weakness has led to the bleak future of the East Palace. The family members and servants are all at risk of life and death. It is impossible to have no resentment towards the crown prince.
The princess is naturally full of disappointment...
However, this time there was a mutiny, and the East Palace was in danger and could be overthrown at any time. When the East Palace was panicked and frightened, it was the prince who had been greatly disappointed by everyone in the past, standing still and standing like a mountain, giving everyone stability and hope.
Just like at this moment, fighting and fighting outside, the rebel army could enter the palace and destroy the East Palace anytime and anywhere, but the crown prince took his time and stood still.
This calmness and demeanor caused the princess to feel unsatisfactory, and her love surged...
Such a man, even if he is defeated and goes to the underworld with him, what is there to be afraid of?
After taking the teacup filled by the Crown Princess, Li Chengqian raised his head slightly, meeting his four eyes, and could clearly feel the undisguised admiration and love in those radiant and beautiful eyes, as if every time he adjusted his own Afterwards, the body became more powerful, and when she was killed between the beds, she threw off her armor and armor, and begged for mercy tactfully...
For a man, the greatest achievement is to enjoy the willing and feminine admiration of the women around him.What kind of imperial ambitions, what kind of fame and fortune, isn't the ultimate goal of this kind of satisfaction from conquest?
In an instant, Li Chengqian's heart was full of excitement and pride, and he showed a bright and gentle smile. His voice was not high, but as stable as a mountain: "Don't worry, you are alone here, everything is at ease."
The crown princess held Li Chengqian's palm with her backhand, her beautiful eyes were full of love, and her voice was clear and soft: "Victory or defeat, life or death, the concubine didn't take it to heart. The life and death agreement is broad, and I talked to Zicheng; Hands, grow old together with your son."
This is a poem describing life and death between comrades in arms, but it has long been used by people to express the unswerving love between men and women. At this moment, the beautiful and noble princess is narrating it. Reach the pinnacle of life.
Having a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?
The husband and wife looked at each other affectionately and smiled.
The waiter outside the door stepped in quickly, and Zou Bing said: "His Royal Highness, Cen Zhongshu and Liu Shizhong are asking to see you."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Please come in."
"Here."
The servants withdrew, the princess cleaned up the tea set on the coffee table, and made a pot of tea again, then got up, and said softly: "The concubine will go to the back to prepare a few small dishes, and your highness will eat with Cen Zhongshu and Liu Shizhong later. point."
It was already close to midnight at this moment, and the front line of Chengtianmen was tense, and they probably would not sleep all night.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's time to work."
The Crown Princess smiled gently and affectionately: "It is a concubine's blessing to be able to serve His Highness."
The husband and wife looked at each other again, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and the princess turned around and walked back to the back hall.Although she is the heroine of the Eastern Palace, she is very likely to rule the Sixth Palace and the mother's world in the future, but she is still a female family member after all, so it is not appropriate to meet with foreign ministers frequently.
Except for Fang Jun who was cited as a confidant by Li Chengqian, Fang Jun is still the royal son-in-law, and he can be regarded as a member of the royal family. In this regard, Cen Wenwen and Liu Jie are several levels behind...
Cen Wenwen and Liu Jie entered the room one after the other, and sat down after saluting. Li Chengqian asked with a smile, "I don't know what's important, both of you?"
Now the officials of the East Palace are all busy in the outer hall, but these two heads of civil servants came here to meet with each other, obviously they have important matters to discuss.
Cen Wenwen stroked his beard, seeing that Li Chengqian did not panic because of the renewed war and the sudden change in the situation, but instead looked as stable as Mount Tai, so he nodded in satisfaction.
After going through all kinds of troubles, His Highness has finally grown into something...
Seeing Cen Wenwen groaning silently, Liu Jie on the side hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Guanlong rebels have made a comeback this time, and they have obviously given up the peace talks completely. They want to die with the East Palace! The situation is not comparable to before. The Tunwei is tightly restrained, and it is difficult to support the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace. Once the frontal defense line is lost, this inner heavy gate is by no means a safe place. Wei Chen suggested that His Highness can retreat into the Xuanwu Gate in advance. If the battle situation is unfavorable, he can quickly exit the Xuanwu Gate The guards of the right guards will be withdrawn to the Hexi counties. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, His Highness should be fully prepared."
In fact, the peace talks broke down completely, and the prince went out of Beijing to avoid disaster. This was nothing less than a huge disaster in the official career for Liu Ji and the civil servants of the East Palace.But at the moment Liu Ji didn't think much about it, he only thought about preserving the crown prince and the East Palace. Compared with personal self-interest, the inheritance of the empire was obviously above it.
Even if the crown prince withdrew from the Taiji Palace, the arrogance of the military would completely occupy the entire East Palace from now on, and Liu Ji couldn't care less...
Li Chengqian obviously understands that Liu Jie has abandoned his personal interests behind this move, and he is very pleased to be able to put the overall situation first at such a juncture.
In adversity, he can put aside his personal interests and still be loyal to him, the crown prince. These courtiers have nothing to criticize...
He said with a smile: "Gu will take Liu Shizhong's remonstrance to heart. But right now, the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace are fighting fiercely with the rebels. The soldiers and generals in the army will die for the inheritance of the empire. How can Gu Gu be afraid of the battle? Fleeing, causing morale to collapse, and disappointing the blood-stained soldiers? At this time, I can't retreat. But I assure you, if the situation collapses and things can't be done, I will withdraw to Xuanwumen as soon as possible. Make sure that the empire is restored."
Liu Ji was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the crown prince had long since developed a will to die, intending to live and die with Taiji Palace, and now agreeing to retreat at a critical moment is already the best situation.
He also said: "Facing the onslaught of the rebel army's force several times higher, the sixth leader of the Eastern Palace is overstretched and dangerous. Why don't you order the Duke of Yue to send an army into the palace to assist the sixth leader of the Eastern Palace to defend against the enemy?"
For Fang Jun, he has always been jealous.
Although the peace talks have completely collapsed right now, Fang Jun is left holding the army and sitting outside the Xuanwu Gate. No one knows why he is crazy and makes moves to disrupt the entire battle situation...
