Chapter 3489: Advance or retreat
Li Yuanjing's expression changed, still undecided.
He mocked Chai Zhewei for "doing great things without sacrificing his own life." In fact, this comment was first made by Fang Jun... Although he was supported by many people in the clan and had more than ten thousand soldiers under his command, these people How can it be enough to see in front of Youtunwei? If he goes to Youtunwei in person, what if Chai Zhewei turns against him and refuses to recognize him?
Seeing his hesitation, Dong Mingyue smiled disdainfully in her heart, but her face was gentle and virtuous. She took two steps forward and stood next to Li Yuanjing. She put a pair of Rouyi on his shoulders and kneaded him twice, and said softly: "Wait for this opportunity, please indulge me a little." Soon after, Changsun Wuji had already gone to visit Chai Zhewei in person. The two parties must have reached some agreement if the prince sat here. , I just want to give Chai Zhewei a verbal promise to quench his thirst. If he completely falls to Changsun Wuji, the prince's chances will be slim. If Chai Zhewei doesn't understand current affairs, he can be kidnapped on the spot and forced to fight."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Heqian Chengji, and her tone was almost sweet: "General Heqian, what do you think?"
Dong Mingyue's look at He Qian Chengji made goosebumps all over his body. He was immediately so erotic that his body became half stiff. He nodded repeatedly: "Miss Dong's words are very true. It is said that wealth can be obtained in danger. Your Majesty." Although he occupies a righteous position, he can If Chai Zhewei cannot enter the Taiji Palace to dominate the situation, his chances of winning are really slim. Chai Zhewei is timid and cares about his life. He will definitely not be willing to fight to the death. This plan is very likely to make him surrender and stand on the prince's side."
Li Yuanjing had great trust in He Qian Chengji, and Dong Mingyue was his right-hand man. Now that the two most trusted people around him suggested that he do this, he couldn't help but ponder.
It must be scary to be afraid, after all, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, but if you think about it carefully, the benefits of doing so are also obvious. It would be best if Chai Zhewei surrendered to him, otherwise he could be held hostage, forcing him to raise troops to attack Xuanwumen, occupy Taiji Palace, and hold the fruits of victory tightly in the palm of his hand. After that, even though Guanlongmen was more arrogant, he lost the opportunity and could only negotiate with himself.
Just give in a little, and I think it will be enough for the Guanlong clan to support you in ascending to the throne...
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjing felt that even if he entered Zuotunwei, it would not be as dangerous as he thought before. Moreover, even if there are still some risks, compared with the benefits after the achievement, it is completely bearable.
A feeling of confidence rose in his heart. He patted the table in front of him and said with emotion: "The world created by the late emperor has been made into a mess by the imperial brother. As a descendant of the clan and the son of the late emperor, how can I turn a blind eye to this? Even if we are willing to take extraordinary risks, we must bring order to the chaos! He Qian Chengji, summon the troops immediately, and let’s go to Zuotunwei together!”
"Here!"
Hegan Chengji excitedly went down to summon troops.
Dong Mingyue moved lightly, took two steps forward and gently adjusted Li Yuanjing's clothes. Her eyes could not hide the admiration and admiration, and she said softly: "The prince was a hero at that time, and he should be so courageous and fearless. Build your own unparalleled achievements with your own hands! I wish you success in Qianlongtengyuan! ”
"Haha! Then I will accept your concubine's good wishes!"
Li Yuanjing put his arms around the thin shoulders of the beautiful lady, kissed her smooth face, and said with great satisfaction: "When I accomplish great things, I will never forget the promise I made that day! I will stay in the palace for a long time, waiting for my triumphant return. Return!”
"Yes..."
Dong Mingyue agreed softly, and then reluctantly sent Li Yuanjing out. When Li Yuanjing and a group of royal guards and generals disappeared from the door of the inner house, she looked at the falling snow in the courtyard, and a picture of flowers and jade. The smile on her pretty face slowly faded.
He immediately closed the door, returned to the hall, and sat behind the desk where Li Yuanjing was sitting.
A chamberlain walked out of the back hall, bowed his body and came to Dong Mingyue's side, and whispered: "What are the next steps?"
Dong Mingyue was silent, playing with a brass paperweight on the desk with his bare hands, his clear eyes dark and deep.
The waiter kept his body bent and stood on one side.
After a long time, Dong Mingyue let out a sigh of relief, her tone soft but a little lonely: "After this, we will retreat to the forest and spring, live in a cottage, and not care about the world. I don't know why, I used to dream about this. One day, I can take off all the shackles on my body, live freely and freely, but when I get to this point, I feel a little empty. ”
She is like duckweed, floating in the world of mortals. Everything she does is not her true nature, but is imposed on her by Mr. Dong who single-handedly raised her up.
Whether it was the glamorous beauty in Pingkangfang at the beginning, her commitment to Shanyue later, or her current hiding place in the palace, she never had a choice.
Maybe from now on, I can choose how to live?
Somehow, the scene of singing and dancing every night in Pingkangfang, with flowers and brocades blooming, suddenly appeared in my mind, as well as that dark face, strong body, and the domineering aura when suppressing myself...
Seeing that she was a little dazed, the waiter hesitated and asked: "So... what should we do next?"
Dong Mingyue suddenly laughed. Her beautiful face was like a peony in full bloom. She was as bright as a fairy in Yaochi. However, the words coming out of her red lips were more vicious than the devil: "Li Yuanjing is a reckless man. If he doesn't take advantage of it, How can He De enjoy this girl's body when he has brought trouble to Li Tang? Since he has enjoyed it for so long, he will certainly have to pay a price."
She stood up gracefully. The gorgeous palace skirt was splendid under the candlelight, but she didn't miss it at all. She took it off easily, wearing only the snow-white inner coat. Her body was slim and exquisite, and her skin was as white as jade. She said quietly: " The day when Li Yuanjing attacked Xuanwu Gate At that moment, he slaughtered everyone in the house and burned them all. Didn't Li Yuanjing dream of becoming an emperor? Since ancient times, emperors have been lonely, and regardless of whether he can ascend the throne, it's better to let him experience the feeling of being alone. ”
One moment they were loving and affectionate, and the next moment they were cold and violent.
The waiter didn't feel anything was wrong at all. He nodded slightly and said softly: "Then slave, go down and prepare now."
Dong Mingyue ignored him.
The light outside the window was like orange, snow was falling, and as far as the eye could see, there was chaos and darkness.
*****
In the north of the city, there is a guard station on the left outside Xuanwu Gate.
Chai Zhewei paced back and forth in the barracks, hesitant in his heart.
Changsun Wuji and Li Yuanjing successively wooed him, both wanting to draw him into their respective camps to increase their chances of winning. Chai Zhewei naturally understood that the reason why he was "a rare commodity" was not only because of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in his hands, but also because he guarded the Xuanwu Gate and held the key to the palace. As long as he was drawn over and the Xuanwu Gate was captured, It can establish victory in one fell swoop.
But precisely because he understands his importance, he naturally wants to sell himself at a good price...
It stands to reason that the Guanlong clan is now powerful, and there are Guanlong rebels inside and outside Hecheng, and they are already besieging the imperial city. Although the Sixth Army of the East Palace is elite and powerful, how many days can they hold on like this? I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before Guanlong breaks through the imperial city.
At that time, as long as they support the King of Jin to ascend the throne, the Guanlong clan can seize the power of Conglong, and at least regain the power of controlling the court in the early years of Zhenguan.
But having said that, Guan Longmen has put in so much effort to get corresponding rewards, how much charity can he give to himself?
Regarding the Longmen clan taking charge of the court, will the King of Jin have the courage and power to support himself against the Guanlong clan who threaten the imperial power?
Even if King Jin supports him, do he have the ability to compete with the entire Guanlong clan?
As for turning to King Jing Li Yuanjing, the hidden dangers are also great. The biggest question is how many clan members can Li Yuanjing win over to stand behind him? Will he be able to deal with the Guanlong clan and secure his position as emperor first?
Of course, although the Guanlong Clan announced that its purpose was only to depose the East Palace and then force His Majesty Li Er to admit that King Jin became the crown prince, everyone in the government and the public must have guessed that something might have happened to His Majesty Li Er, and it might even be permanent. I can’t go back to Chang’an either…
Otherwise, neither Changsun Wuji nor Li Yuanjing would dare to do this if they were given the courage!
You Wenzhi on the side looked at his commander pacing back and forth, hesitating, and couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. He had been entangled before, but after Changsun Wuji came to visit him in person, he seemed to have made up his mind to join Guanlong. gate valve. But after some persuasion, King Jing sent someone over again. As a result, the commander-in-chief began to hesitate again and couldn't make up his mind.
He couldn't help but secretly worry, could such a wavering and weak-minded person really be able to help His Highness King Jing achieve great things?
Soldiers came in from outside the door. You Wenzhi stepped forward to greet him. The soldiers shouted several warnings. You Wenzhi looked happy, turned around and came to Chai Zhewei, and said in a low voice: "Commander, His Royal Highness King Jing has come to pay a visit in person!" (End of this chapter) )
