Chapter 3844 Winning in the rainy night
Chengtianmen rumbled loudly and thunderously, the Xuanwumenmen were at war with swords and swords, and when the wind blew, the big raindrops fell from the sky, and a mist of water rose in the night.
It was cold and rainy, and the fighting was fierce.
Fang Jun stood in the wind and rain under the Xuanwu Gate with his helmet on and his armor on. Even though his shirt was wet by the cold rain, he still sat firmly and motionless.Behind him, thousands of soldiers, elite formations were in strict order, full of murderous aura, unmoved by the rain all over his body, with sharp eyes and clenched knives and guns.
The corner gate on one side of the Xuanwu Gate was opened from the inside, several horsemen came galloping, and stood still in front of Defang Jun. The leader was wearing a helmet and armour, with white eyebrows, a square face and long beard, sitting on horseback, still standing He is tall and burly, and he is Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Guo.
Several soldiers following behind propped up a large black canopy to cover the sky from the wind and rain.
The "canopy" is not only used by the emperor, but also by the generals. Xungui can only decorate variegated colors...
Fang Jun clasped his fists on the horse's back, and said with a smile: "The storm is like a rock, Lord Guoguo can't sit still, he is afraid that I will raise troops to invade Xuanwu Gate, so I come here to try to persuade you to change your mind and rein in the precipice?"
Xuanwumen is the gate of Taiji Palace, the current situation is so dangerous, Zhang Shigui, who is responsible for guarding Xuanwumen, dare not slacken the slightest slack, even Fang Jun, the crown prince's confidant, dare not let him enter the palace easily, otherwise It should have been Zhang Shigui who invited Fang Jun to go to the Xuanwu Gate and climb up the tower to drink tea and listen to the rain, instead of going out by himself to stand under the wind and rain with Fang Jun...
Zhang Shigui's face was stern, and he snorted: "Is this kind of thing a joke? It's not proper."
He has a high seniority, deep experience, and takes care of Fang Jun a lot, otherwise, if it were other founding dignitaries, few people would be able to speak to Fang Jun in such a tone.
After all, the Fang Jun of today has already made these Long Xunchens treat each other as equals, and dare not be slighted or slack.
Before Fang Jun could reply, Zhang Shigui looked up at the wind and rain, and said in a deep voice, "Is it worth doing this?"
It was a random sentence, but Fang Jun understood the meaning.
After a moment of silence, Fang Jun sighed softly, and said, "How can you have both? Such a great opportunity can just eliminate the chronic diseases of the empire and remove the cancerous tumors attached to the body of the empire. It is worth taking some risks for this." of."
Being in Datang, he has shared weal and woe with the entire empire these years, which gave him a heavy sense of mission, and he was willing to do his best to make Datang get rid of the deepest hidden danger.In this way, although it will not make the Tang Dynasty eternal and never sink, but at least it will not repeat the same mistakes and embark on the old path of history.
In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, nearly a hundred years of wars and turmoil almost exhausted the last trace of bravery of this nation.Although the subsequent Song Dynasty ended the troubled times and unified the world, apart from its national policy of "advocating literature and suppressing martial arts", the legacy of the troubled times of the Five Dynasties was the deepest influence.
The people of the world are really terrified and disgusted by the consequences of the warriors taking power, and they absolutely don't want that scene to repeat itself...
In the end, it was an overkill. A warrior taking power would indeed bring about turmoil and massacres, but if one blindly adores literature and restrains martial arts, it is equivalent to breaking the backbone of a country or a nation. Being a warrior cannot obtain the corresponding status, power, and consequences. Naturally, the combat power is declining and the morale of the army is floating. No matter how many troops there are, it is difficult to establish the absolute belief that "the attack must be conquered and the battle must be won".
Afterwards, the world was in turmoil, the empire collapsed, the shame of Jingkang, and the decline of Shenzhou... until Emperor Hongwu rose up in the grass, expelled the Tartars and restored China, the land of Shenzhou has been lingering under the iron cavalry of the barbarians for more than a hundred years. , the world is fishy, the people are like porcupine dogs, and the culture is almost cut off.
However, even the Ming Dynasty, which is known as "the son of heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country", has a decisiveness in advocating literature and suppressing martial arts, which is no less than that of the two Song Dynasties.
The legacy of the death of the Tang Dynasty has caused far-reaching harm...
It is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty to perish. Under the feudal centralized rule, no dynasty will escape the fate of prosperity and extinction.The rise of the empire, economic development, cultural prosperity, land annexation, people's livelihood, political turmoil, public grievances, collapse, another dynasty rises from the ruins... The land of China and the Chinese civilization are in such an inescapable fate. Among them, the turmoil changes and the cycle repeats.
However, the Tang Dynasty cannot subjugate the country when the strong branches are weak and the warlords are everywhere. Once the centralization collapses and the warlords from all over the country separate the world, and the chaos comes, it is very difficult for a single person to come forward to wipe out the heroes from all walks of life and bring the world back to unity.
Zhang Shigui is just a general, without such a far-reaching strategic vision, what he thinks about is the more superficial hidden dangers: "Maybe your thinking is for the country, the people, and Li Tang Jiangshan, but the crown prince may not think so."
Everyone is selfish, without exception.
For the prince, no matter how grand his ambitions are, no matter how brilliant his future is, it is not as important as defeating the rebels and successfully enthroning.
Because if you can't defeat the rebels and ascend the throne as emperor, everything will immediately disappear and collapse... Your life is gone, so what are you talking about with me about ideals and the future?
Fang Jun looked at Zhang Shigui, twitched his lips, and said meaningfully: "Which side does Duke Guo stand on?"
Zhang Shigui withdrew his eyes from the rain curtain, glanced at Fang Jun, met his four eyes, and said slowly: "The old man has followed His Majesty for half his life. He has been born and died under His Majesty's command, and has made great achievements. Naturally, he will always stand by His Majesty's side. The emperor's destiny is where you can't die." Turn heel."
Right now, the news of His Majesty Li Er's death has not yet been announced. Although everyone is guessing that His Majesty has passed away, if he fails to get the approval of the court, he will not be able to announce it.Therefore, under such circumstances, His Majesty Li Er is still the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Shigui's words are not flawed at all.
However, the fact is that everyone knows that His Majesty has passed away...then the true meaning of Zhang Shigui's words is quite intriguing.
Fang Jun changed his angle and asked again: "Duke Guo Guo has fought half his life and has rich experience. Do you think the East Palace has a chance of winning in the current situation?"
Maybe it was under the storm in the night, or maybe there was no one in the vicinity who didn't worry about the topic leaking out, Zhang Shigui said calmly: "The key point of victory or defeat lies in Li Ji who is stationed in Tongguan, Donggong's words don't matter, Guan Long's words don't count. Because both sides will look up to Li Ji's face when it comes to which one wins in the end - if Li Ji wants to 'help the world', Guan Long is conspiring to usurp the throne; What's the point of beating Guan Long to death?"
With a sad look on his face, he seems to think that only "peace talks" are the best way to eliminate military disasters. How stupid it is to give up peace talks and fight to the death...
But Fang Jun would not be misled by his expression. The sound of rain was rushing in his ears, the strong wind was blowing and the raindrops were waving and splashing, and the canopy above his head was also crumbling in the wind and rain. He said in a deep voice, "Why should Duke Guo deceive me? Even Li Ji , It’s not worth mentioning.”
"boom!"
A spring thunder exploded nine days away, the aftermath shook, and a branch-like lightning split the night to connect the sky and the earth, illuminating the surrounding fields in an instant.
Zhang Shigui's eyes widened, unable to hide his shock, he lost his voice and said, "What did you say?"
Fang Jun smiled slightly, as if everything was under control: "It doesn't matter what I say, the important thing is that the Duke of Guo should remember his responsibilities and duties. Your allegiance is not to a certain person, but to this Li Tang Jiangshan. , This is the billions of billions of people! The place of the prince is the foundation of the country's stability. If the East Palace collapses and the prince dies, it means that the orthodox inheritance of the Tang Dynasty is no longer there. There was a bloody storm, until every change of emperor exhausted the last ounce of vitality of the empire, and it collapsed amidst the ruins, and the people of the world were in dire straits... Guo Guogong wanted to push the world into such a state of misery. situation, or to turn the tide and turn the tide?"
Zhang Shigui's face was cold and hard, but his heart was already flooded!
How on earth did he know?
What else does he know?
But you can't ask this question, as long as you ask it, it means that you have admitted all Fang Jun's guesses... After all, Fang Jun can only regard these as guesses.
Zhang Shigui's eyes were bright, and he was sitting on the horse like a cheetah with full momentum, staring at Fang Jun, and asked word by word: "What is the Duke of Yue trying to say?"
