Chapter 3421 Loving father, filial son
At this point, he paused, feeling helpless and angry.
Taking a deep breath, he continued: "In my father's life, I have enjoyed glory, wealth, and power, and now I have ascended the supreme throne. This life is enough, and I will have no regrets even if I die. But you are still young, so you cannot follow my father and be buried here. , later you bring your own soft disk, let the guards escort you, break out of the city, and escape!”
"Father!"
Yeon Nam Chan let out a cry of sorrow, knelt on the ground, walked forward on his knees to the feet of Yeon Gaesumun, raised his face and cried bitterly, pleading: "Father, you are wise, mighty, talented and strategic, even if you lose power for a moment, What's the harm ? If we don’t lead the imperial guards to break out and retreat south to the border of Baekje, we can rely on the geographical advantage, ask Baekje to send troops, and then order the Qinwang of all parties in the country, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory and make a comeback!”
He saw that Yeon Gaesumun was already determined to die, and he felt sad and tried his best to persuade him.
Yuan Gaisuwen laughed and said warmly: "Silly son, my father has been stubborn and tough in his life and has never been inferior to others. How can he escape from the battlefield and endure the humiliation? But you, if you don't leave now, the blood of our Yuan clan will be wiped out. I will never die for my father.”
Yuan Nanchan still refused and said with tears: "As long as the eldest brother is still here, the blood line will not be cut off. The son is willing to stay with his father. If we live together, we will live together, and if we die, we will die together!"
Seeing his youngest son being so stubborn, even in the face of a desperate situation, Yeon Gaesumun was moved and greatly comforted.
He raised his hand, whispered on the top of his son's head, and said with a bitter smile: "Your eldest brother... is ignorant. He only wants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so that he can get the support of the Tang Dynasty and replace his father's position as the leader of Goguryeo. But I The prestige of the Yuan clan It’s too heavy. I don’t know how many people in the country support us. How can Tang Dynasty trust your eldest brother to take charge of Goguryeo? If my father’s prediction is true, if Goguryeo dies, then your eldest brother will be killed in two or three years.”
Yuan Nansan was so shocked that he spoke.
In fact, why didn't he have the idea of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty? Now his father was determined to let him lead the troops to break out of the encirclement. He also wanted to find a place to hide temporarily after leaving Pingrang City. After the Tang army broke through the palace and his father died in a fierce battle, he would go to the Tang army camp to surrender.
With his status as the youngest son of Yeon Gaesumun, it would not be difficult for him to receive the same treatment as his eldest brother. The people of the Tang Dynasty were good at strategy, and killing was the next best thing. By pitting themselves against their elder brothers and splitting the remaining forces of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty could take control of the situation and reap the benefits.
However, hearing his father's words at this moment made him suddenly wake up. His father's prestige was too high. Even if his father died fighting and the country was destroyed, the forces from all over Goguryeo and from all ethnic groups would still be devoted to him and his eldest brother. With just a raise of their arms, they could raise their troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
How could Datang allow such hidden dangers to exist?
Maybe if he kills his eldest brother with a knife and finds a puppet to support him from the Gao family, he will inevitably be more submissive and even regard the Yuan family as the enemy of the country and the family. The Tang Dynasty will suppress the forces loyal to the Yuan family without worrying about it. , forming a real confrontation between the remaining forces of Goguryeo...
Seeing that his father really loved him, Yuan Nanchan felt a little guilty. He knelt on the ground and cried: "If this is the case, isn't my child being unfaithful and unfilial? I would never dare to do this."
Yeon Gaesumun stroked his beard and smiled, and said slowly: "Have you ever been refuted by others for your actions as a father? Since I asked you to break away today, don't behave like a woman again! A man who kills decisively does not need to ”
Yuan Nanchan bowed his head and cried, not daring to say anything.
Yeon Gaesumun turned around and pushed the table beside him slightly, exposing a section of the wall. He pressed hard on one of the blue bricks, and saw that the green brick sunk in together with several green bricks above and below, revealing a square shape. gap.
Reaching in, he took out a brocade box.
Yeon Gaesumun put the brocade box on the table, opened it, took out a jade seal, held the tiger head button on the seal and turned it over, and you could see the "King of Gouli" inscription on the seal. Carved with inscriptions and seal characters...
Goguryeo is also called Gouli, which roughly means a mountain city, and Goguryeo means a mountain city on a high mountain.
"This square seal was passed down from the Holy King of Dongming to a total of twenty-one kings. It represents the supreme power and majesty of Goguryeo. Today, my father gives it to you. You must keep it properly and do not lose it. It will be used in the future. He ordered the world to raise troops and restore the country! ”
After saying that, he put the seal into the brocade box and handed it to Yuan Nan.
The implication is that I no longer think that the palace can delay the return of the army for reinforcements, and the country's destruction is at hand...
Yuan Nanchan did not dare to disobey the order, so he raised his hands and took the brocade box.
"Jian Moucen!"
"The end is here!"
Following Yuan Gaisuwen's call, Jian Moucen strode into the hall and came closer.
Yeon Gae Suwen's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed right now. Although I have ascended the throne as the king, I am unable to turn things around, and I hate it deeply in my heart! However, the city can be destroyed, and I can die. The inheritance of Goguryeo But it cannot be cut off now! , I will hand over the royal seal of Goguryeo to the Third Young Master. You will lead the army to break out of the city and go to the border of Baekje. Please ask King Uiji of Baekje to send troops to help restore the country! This is a heavy responsibility, can you bear it?"
Jian Moucen immediately knelt down, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and cut a wound on his forehead. Blood gushed out, dyeing half of his cheeks red, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, how dare you disobey me? I will help you as long as you live." The Third Young Master has completed the great cause of restoring the country. If he violates this oath, he will never be able to see the world again.”
"Okay!"
Yeon Gaesomun was very pleased. At this point, the end of the road was over, and everyone had betrayed their relatives and separated, but there was still a loyalist who was willing to shoulder the important task of restoring the country, which was extremely rare.
"The situation is critical, don't waste time, go quickly!"
Yeon Gaesumun suppressed the sadness in his heart, closed his eyes and waved his hand.
Yuan Nanchan fell to the ground and banged his head three times, feeling extremely painful. Jian Moucen took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face. He supported Yuan Nanzheng with one hand and said: "The Tang army is fierce and may rush into the palace in the next moment. The third young master must live up to the king's expectations and put the overall situation first. Let's Let’s go quickly!”
Yeon Gaesumun didn't open his eyes and waved his hand expressionlessly.
Only then did Yuan Nanchan stop crying, stood up, and walked out of the hall with Jian Moucen holding the brocade box in his arms.
At this time, Yeon Gaesumun just opened his eyes and looked at his son's back walking out of the hall. For a moment, his eyes became wet...
Even though he is a tiger, he still has the feeling of licking a calf.
The separation now is a separation of life and death. I am afraid that we will never see each other again, how can we not feel it?
After a short moment of silence, he regained his composure and ordered someone to call Mr. Yuan. After all, this is not the time of sorrow for spring and autumn...
After a while, Boy Yuan entered the hall, knelt down and kowtowed: "My son has met his father."
Yuan Gaisuwen looked coldly at this rebellious son who he had never liked and who colluded with the Tang Dynasty behind his back, but he was not angry.
After a long while, he took off an iron plate from his belt, threw it in front of Yuan Nanchan, and said slowly: "Although you are unfilial, my father is unwilling to end your life. The Tang army is about to break through, and the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed." It’s a foregone conclusion, this talisman of the Yuan clan will be handed over to you. From now on, you will be the head of the Yuan clan, and the life and death of every Yuan clan child will be in your hands.”
That iron sign "Dang Rang" fell in front of Mr. Yuan all his life, making him look stunned and at a loss.
This was something he had been thinking about for a long time. He originally thought that the plan had failed, but he didn't expect that although the Tang army retreated, a navy suddenly appeared and broke through the city gate with unmatched momentum. But despite this, it can only speed up his own death. Regardless of victory or defeat, how can his father keep his "rebellious son" alive?
He will definitely die.
However, now, my father has handed over the head of the Yuan family to him...
Yuan Nanchan was a little confused and didn't dare to reach out and pick up the iron sign.
Yuan Gaisuwen said coldly: "It's not because of my father's forgiveness, but because of the current situation, I have to do this. I will leave you alive until the Tang army comes to the palace. It's hard for my father to survive. You are the only one." In order to preserve the foundation of the Yuan clan, can you do it?”
It is true to allow this rebellious son to temporarily assume the position of head of the family, and it is also true to expect him to preserve the foundation of the family. However, when Yuon Nan was born on the border of Baekje and returned to the country and became king, the Tang Dynasty people became angry and humiliated. The first person to be killed must be Yuon Nan, the eldest son. .
But by that time, the foundation of the family must have changed from light to darkness, and quietly transferred to Yuan Nanchan. Yuan Nansan's death can be considered valuable...
As for this being the same as putting his eldest son to death with his own hands, he didn't care.
You can die, you can die, even Yuan Nan's child can die, as long as everyone's death can be of value, then you won't hesitate.
How does Mr. Yuan know this?
I thought that my father saw that the situation was irreversible, so his conscience realized that he was really a good father by leaving himself a way out and passing on the title of head of the family to him.
Thinking again about the time when I betrayed my father and took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, my behavior was really worse than that of a beast. I felt so ashamed and resentful that I knelt down on the ground and cried sadly: "Father, it was my fault..." (End of Chapter)
