Chapter 3905 The fragrance disappears and the jade dies
"Poof!"
Changsun Wuji's throat felt sweet, blood boiled in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yu Wenjie was shocked and said hurriedly: "I'm humble, go call the doctor!"
"What a great doctor!"
Changsun Wuji snorted angrily and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "I can't die yet! Immediately inform Yu Suigu to form a formation near the West City and be sure to block the Youtun Guard! In addition, go to Chunmingmen Foreign Minister Sun Jiaqing ordered him to immediately dispatch elite troops to the city to assist Yu Suigu! "
This is a critical moment. Once the Youtun Guards break into Yanshoufang or even capture Yanshoufang, the retreat of the army that is storming Taiji Palace will be cut off in one fell swoop. The Guanlong army lacks training, and now it is all relying on the wind to cheer. I am so angry that once the retreat reaches the north end, I am afraid that half of the tens of thousands of troops outside the Golden Light Gate will fall apart and be defeated in an instant.
Yu Wenjie hesitated and reminded: "There are 40,000 troops in Youtun Guards. According to the soldiers who retreated from Jinguang Gate, the troops attacking the city are probably only more than 10,000. There are also about 20,000 who will follow Fang Jun to guard the camp. In case of any emergency That fellow sent out another force to raid Chunming Gate..."
If both Jinguang Gate and Chunming Gate fall, the situation will be completely overturned. Previously, the Guanlong Army besieged Taiji Palace on three sides, and later it may be turned around and besieged by the East Palace Army on three sides. The Sixth Army of the East Palace was trained and commanded by Li Jingna and other "military gods", so they were able to fight to the death under great pressure. However, once the Guanlong army fell into such a situation, they would be dispersed with just one charge from the Youtun Guards. ……
Changsun Wuji's face turned pale, and he waved his hands and said: "We are now at the point of life and death. If we can't block the Youtun Guards, everything will be at a loss. How can we care about so much? We only hope that we can block the Youtun Guards for a few days, and the army in front can capture them as soon as possible. Tai Chi Palace and the East Palace are destroyed, so that there is a chance to return to the world. ”
It's just that in the current situation, the initiative is no longer in Guan Long's hands. To overthrow the East Palace, not only does Guan Long's army need to fight quickly, but it also needs Zhang Shigui's cooperation to continue to block the Xuanwu Gate. Otherwise, if Zhang Shigui lets go of the Xuanwu Gate and allows the prince to withdraw from Chang'an and enter the Youtunwei camp, then he will be able to attack and retreat, and the Guanlong Gate clan will be wiped out soon.
It can be said that "people decide what to do, and what to do depends on heaven." Guanlong's life and death all depend on God's will...
Of course, it was impossible to just sit back and wait for death. Changsun Wuji felt that he could still struggle a little longer.
Yu Wenjie didn't dare to say any more, so he quickly turned around and left, going to convey the military order.
Yu Wenshiji looked at the dazzling pool of blood on the ground and asked worriedly: "Are you feeling well?"
Changsun Wuji sighed weakly, pressed his left chest with one hand, shook his head and said: "I won't die for a while. If I can't bring Guan Long back to life, I won't die in peace!"
Yu Wenshi and Mo Ran naturally cannot rest in peace.
The reason why the Guanlong Clan had the glory of entering the Tang Dynasty was all because of Changsun Wuji. It was he who pulled the Guanlong Clan to fully support His Majesty Li Er, who was the King of Qin at that time, and went through all the way to kill the generals and seize them in reverse. This created the present-day Guanlong Group today.
But the reason why Guan Long fell into such a dead end was also caused by Changsun Wuji.
If he had not been unwilling to be suppressed and cut off the power of the clan bit by bit by His Majesty Li Er, he would not have forced Chu Suiliang to poison His Majesty Li Er; if he had not poisoned His Majesty Li Er, how could he have prepared for the Guanlong clan to raise troops and intend to Abolish the crown prince and establish a new crown prince to achieve the goal of monopolizing power?
Success also leads to grandchildren, failure also leads to grandchildren...
It's just that when things come to an end, complaining is most useless. We must unite and overcome difficulties.
A scribe reported at the door: "The heads of the Linghu family, the Yu family, the Hou Mochen family, the Dugu family, etc. have all arrived..."
Changsun Wuji said: "Let them wait and someone will come and clean up."
The scribe agreed, turned around to inform, and sent two more scribes to clean up the blood stains and teacup fragments on the floor before exiting.
Not long after, a group of Guan Longxungui came in hand in hand, each with solemn expressions, obviously already aware of the fall of Jinguang Sect.
Before anyone could speak, Changsun Wuji had already said in a deep voice: "The situation is urgent. At this time of life and death, I hope you will abandon your prejudices, unite as one, no longer hold back, defeat the Sixth Army of the East Palace as soon as possible, and determine the overall situation!"
After saying that, he stared at the head of the Hou Mo Chen family and said word by word: "I hope that what happened to Hou Mo and Chen Lin will never happen again. Otherwise, even if I am defeated and die, I will still be buried with a few others." ! ”
All the big guys panicked under Changsun Wuji's vicious words and didn't know what to do.
How come the situation has deteriorated to this point in the blink of an eye?
*****
Internal heavy door.
It was raining heavily, and people inside the Neizhong Gate were shouting and neighing, and it was a mess. The news that Guanlong's army had broken through Chengtianmen's first-line defense and had entered the palace had already spread throughout the palace. The people in the palace were panicked and worried. When they heard the news that His Highness the Crown Prince had ordered everyone to withdraw from Taiji Palace, it made them even more sad and sad. A tense atmosphere enveloped the place, and many chamberlains, maids, and even concubines were already crying, and there was a gloomy mist.
No one knows that the prince can escape if he withdraws from the city. Even if he can really go to Hexi under the protection of Youtun Guards, where will they go?
You must know that most of the people here are chamberlains and maids of the Taiji Palace, and the concubines are even more people of His Majesty Li Er. If you follow the prince to retreat to Hexi, it will definitely arouse the criticism of the world, and jumping into the Yellow River will not wash away your innocence. Qing……
Although it has not yet reached the point where "chastity is above all else" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, honor and integrity are still important.
Especially since the Guanlong Mutiny, Chang'an has been fighting endlessly. At this point, many previous rumors that His Majesty Li Er may have died in the army have almost been confirmed, which has made the concubines sad and hesitant, one by one. Crying until the pear blossoms are covered with rain.
Li Chengqian, wearing a helmet and armor and a military uniform, walked out of his residence surrounded by a group of guards, hundreds of cavalry, and important ministers. It was raining heavily in the sky. He couldn't help frowning when he saw the messy crowd gathering in the open space.
Wang De, the chief chamberlain, walked quickly to Li Chengqian, looked at the people around him, then moved closer, leaned into Li Chengqian's ear, and whispered: "Xu Jieyu drank poison and committed suicide."
Li Chengqian froze immediately, and it took him a long time to react and said: "Go and have a look."
"Here."
Wang De bowed and led the way. Li Chengqian only took a few guards and walked towards a house not far away under the incomprehensible eyes of a group of East Palace officials.
In the house, the chambermaids and maids knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and wept. On the bed, Xu Jieyu, who was smart, gentle and beautiful, was lying quietly. There were still black blood stains on the corners of her lips. Her palms were placed on her sides, and her nails had turned black. Obviously, It was the poison that had already spread throughout his body.
After taking such a highly toxic poison, you must have suffered a lot of torture and pain. However, at this moment, the concubine who had the deepest love for His Majesty Li Er had a calm face. She could not tell that she had any regrets before her death, let alone the drama. The poison erodes the body and feels painful.
The beauty like a flower has completely withered, and her fragrance has faded away.
Li Chengqian stood quietly in front of the bed for a long time, then slowly exhaled and said to Wang De in a deep voice: "Time is urgent and there is no room for delay. Let Xu Jieyu simply pack up and transport her in a carriage to follow Gu's car. In the future, No matter what the situation is, Xu Jieyu must be buried in the Jiuwei Mountain Mausoleum.”
The word "Zhaoling" is impossible to appear at this time. The name of the emperor's mausoleum, like the posthumous title, can only be drafted after the emperor dies and the coffin is sealed.
There is no precise definition of the name "Zhaoling" in the history books. It is probably the same as the explanation of "posthumous method". "The sacred text is called Zhao, and the virtue and meritorious service are called Zhao."
Wang De bowed and accepted the order: "I will keep this in mind."
He understood that at this moment, the Xuanwu Gate was still blocked by Zhang Shigui, and it was even more unclear whether the East Palace could be evacuated smoothly. Once they could not evacuate, it was very likely that the prince would be killed in the battle at the inner gate. At that time, he, the chamberlain general, would be needed in the future. They tried their best to bury Xu Jieyu in the Jiuwei Mountain Mausoleum with the civil and military officials of Chaozhong and the Li and Tang Dynasties.
After all, being able to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum is a supreme honor. A mere Jieyu may not be able to achieve such treatment...
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house without another glance. The guards had already brought the war horses. Li Chengqian got on the horse under the service of the guards, pulled up the reins, and led a group of guards, hundreds of cavalry, ministers, and chamberlains. , concubines, marching towards the Xuanwu Gate in a mighty manner.
At this time, everyone in Xuanwu Sect had already received the news and was ready to prepare.
Under the drizzle, the prince rode to the Xuanwu Gate, looked up at the tall and majestic city tower, and was filled with emotion in his heart. At that time, my father entered the palace from here, attacked and killed Prince Jiancheng, King Yuanji of Qi and their gangs, and then seized and ascended the throne as emperor.
Today, the city where my father had been gloriously glorious for a long time has to decide the life and death of Li Chengqian. It is really ironic...
Now is not the time to feel sad about the spring and autumn. Li Chengqian was so angry that he shouted: "Where is the Duke of Guo?" (End of this chapter)
