Chapter 3188 The position of the crown prince
Boy Yuan was frightened in his heart and said in panic: "How can this happen? If my father finds out about my secret investigation of 'Wang Zhuangjun', he will have to kill me! Besides, my father has great prestige and has many subordinates under his command." dead soldier, If we want to open the city gate to welcome the Tang army into the city, we must make a living. After all, I don’t have many dead soldiers under my command. Dalang, the soldiers under your command may not obey your command by then.”
< br>
He was just a prince, and he was under high pressure from his father, so his prestige was really limited. If he betrayed his father and surrendered to the Tang army, he would probably be killed by his father before he could reach the Seven Star Gate.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."
Changsun Chong knelt down behind the desk and took a sip of tea. His back was straight, his eyes were shining, and his handsome face was full of calmness and confidence: "The Tang army is approaching the city, and the fall of Goguryeo is imminent. Is it possible that the crown prince is the only one who is afraid of death? No, ants still have the ambition to survive, not to mention people. By then the building will collapse and there will be no way out. Those who followed Da Mo Li Zhi in the past may not have had the same ambition to die, and were willing to die with Da Mo Li Zhi and Ping Rang City. It was just that they were afraid of Da Mo Li Zhi's power and dared not speak out. When the time comes, as long as the prince raises his arms and calls out, there will be a crowd of people responding, so why worry about the big thing failing?"
Boy Yuan was still frowning, with a worried look on his face.
It's just that this matter has been decided for a long time. If you want to survive, you can only hope for the fall of Goguryeo, the death of your father, and then be rewarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for your merits.
However, the power of Yeon Gaesumun has already been deeply ingrained in his heart. Whenever he thinks about going against his father, his two sides tremble and his heart trembles...
Changsun Chong looked at his expression and continued to confuse: "Da Molizhi went his own way because he wanted to bury all the Yuan clan in Pingrang City with Goguryeo. He may be a hero of Goguryeo, but he must be the sinner of the Yuan clan. . The prince abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, bringing order to the chaos. The great achievements made by the Tang Dynasty will definitely ensure that the Yuan family will not be massacred after the defeat, and will be able to gain the trust of His Majesty and revive the family tradition of the Yuan family. A hundred years later, under Jiuquan, Da Molizhi will also praise the prince as a member of the family. Contributions made.”
I was very annoyed at Yuan Yuan's boy's character of retreating in the face of battle and being as timid as a mouse. Now that things have come to this, if he wants to survive, is there another way to go?
How stupid it is to hesitate and be afraid at this moment!
However, he could only offer some kind words and analyze the pros and cons to Mr. Yuan. Unless he was patient, if he really wanted to open the city gate to respond when the Tang army entered the city and achieve great success, he would have to rely on Yuan Meng. Although this man is cowardly, wretched, and as stupid as a pig, he is the heir apparent of the Da Mo Li Zhi Mansion after all. He has great honor and righteousness, and he will definitely be able to win over a large number of nobles and royal families to fight against Yuengai Suwen.
Boy Yuan is a banner, useless in itself, but indispensable.
Hearing what Zhang Sun Chong said, Mr. Yuan's heart gradually stabilized. Although he was a bit stupid, he was not stupid after all. He knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to seek refuge with the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, once the situation stabilized, the first thing his father would do would be to depose himself as the heir apparent. The second brother Yuan Nanjian supported him and took the throne.
By that time, he would only die.
……
Almost at the same time, in the Damolizhi Mansion.
The study room is brightly lit, and the rosewood bookshelves are filled with Chinese classics, from Confucian classics to Taoist secretaries, and even Legalist documents, military armor war books... everything from hundreds of schools of thought.
White porcelain from Xing kiln is placed on the desk, glass vases are placed in front of the window, and the rosewood furniture is elegant and noble.
Yeon Gae So-moon was dressed in regular clothes, with disheveled hair hanging casually on his shoulders. He was sitting on his knees behind the table, drinking tea slowly.
Opposite him, the second son Yuan Nanjian looked angry and said angrily: "Is the eldest brother stupid? My father has indulged him too much! That eldest grandson is ambitious and cunning, so he must have ulterior motives! Maybe, the so-called guilty conspiracy The great crime was just a trap set by this person’s family to paralyze his father.”
He couldn't understand. Changsun Chong looked like a human being and was very loyal, but in the end he was also a Han, and he was a descendant of a very prominent family in the Tang Dynasty. Even if such a person lived in exile, he could still have influence over Goguryeo. How loyal?
It was enough for that idiot brother to trust Chang Sun Chong, but why did his father trust him so much that he even betrothed his eight-year-old sister to him?
It's simply unreasonable.
Yuan Gaesuwen's ancient and cold face showed no emotion, and he did not give any explanation for this person whom he always valued. He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Tomorrow, you will go to the 'Wang Zhuang Army' to serve as the commander in chief." , but you must not act rashly and obey my orders.”
Yuan Nanjian was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, the child will fight bravely and live up to his father's trust!"
The "Wang Zhuang Army" is the first-class powerful army under Yeon Gaesumun, and its symbolic significance is even more important than its actual combat power. This is the foundation of Yeon Gaesumun's rule of Goguryeo. Now it is handed over to Yeonnam Gun to rule, and his intention is already obvious.
Seeing that the throne of the Crown Prince was about to be obtained, how could Yuan Nanjian not be overjoyed?
He had been seeking this position for many years, and once he got his wish, he couldn't suppress his excitement. Although the current situation is in danger, the entire kingdom is in turmoil, and the alien army is rushing towards Pyongrang City, and it may be overturned in an instant, but after all, this is also the position of the crown prince, which not only represents the inheritance of the most powerful power of Goguryeo in the future, but also Directly in charge of the Yuan clan.
The highest pursuit of life is suddenly achieved in a short period of time. Who can not be extremely excited?
Although the enemy army is strong and the situation is dangerous, the millions of troops of the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo several times but all failed. Among them, the former Sui navy also attacked Pingrang City. The situation was precarious, but in the end they did not collapse. , Goguryeo stood firm and motionless?
Since my father is still as stable as a mountain at such a critical moment, and still has enough energy to plan the strategic goal of "Wang Zhuang Army", it can be seen that he must be well-prepared.
This time, the miracle will definitely happen again!
Yuan Gaisuwen nodded, raised his head and looked at this powerful second son with stern eyes, and said in a solemn tone: "In the future, my father will pass on the position of eldest son to you, and you will also be the next head of the Yuan clan. For The reason why my father did this is that he is optimistic that you can lead the Yuan clan to create greater glory in the future. As for your brother... For the sake of the survival of the family, my father has to be cruel. But the first thing is to be able to defeat the Tang army and keep Pingrang City until the winter. Otherwise, Pingrang City will fall, Goguryeo will fall, and the Wuyuan clan will fall. The whole family is gone.”
Yuan Nanjian swore to the sky: "Father, don't worry. Although the child is greedy for the throne, he also knows that it is a time of life and death. He will follow his father to fight the enemy bravely and defend Pingrang City! As long as he can defeat the Tang army, his father's reputation will reach At an unprecedented peak, future generations will pass on their father’s reputation as ‘the first person in Goguryeo’! For this reason, the child will work hard and never flinch!”
"Haha! Good!"
A smile finally appeared on Yeon Gae Suwen's cold face. The smile was a bit colder than not smiling. The smile immediately disappeared and he warned: "Although I will hand over the 'Wang Zhuangjun' to you as a father, as the crown prince, The title will also be passed on to you, but you must promise your father not to harm your siblings or to fight with your brothers! Your brother is less talented, but he loves you brothers very much, and you must never do anything worse than a beast!"< br>
Since ancient times, both at home and abroad, the struggle for power has been accompanied by blood and killing. Even among close relatives, there is no affection at all.
The eldest son, Yeon-san, has been the crown prince for many years. No matter how stupid he is, he still has some basic vassals around him. Once Guo takes away the throne of his heir apparent, it will inevitably damage the interests of a large group of people. How can he let it go? There will be some resistance, that's for sure.
And Yuan Nanjian must protect his own interests and kill his brother ruthlessly, which is really common.
Moreover, although Goguryeo admired Confucian classics, it did not care much about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Only interests could motivate it to act.
Therefore, passing the crown prince's position to Yuan Nanjian was almost equivalent to sentencing the eldest son Yuan Nanjian to death.
When Yuan Nanjian heard his father's words, he quickly expressed his position: "Father, don't worry, the eldest brother has always loved and cared for the child. The reason why the child deserves the position of the heir is because he thinks he can do better than the eldest brother, but he will never do it." It will hurt my brother half a bit.”
I made up my mind that when my father was alive, I would pay more attention to him and show my care and respect for that good-for-nothing, so as not to make my father unhappy.
After his father dies... isn't that just doing whatever he wants? (End of chapter)
