Chapter 3926 Brotherhood
The carriage came out of Jingyao Gate. Inside and outside the city gate were the six soldiers of the East Palace wearing helmets and armor. Li Zhi looked out from the carriage. The soldiers could not hide their tiredness on their faces, and their bodies were covered with wounds. He held the knife in front of him, so powerful and murderous, which made Li Zhi very jealous.
He has always had great ambitions, but he just wished he was born a little later than the prince. The position of inheriting the empire can only be obtained through some dark and shady means. He always thinks about having an army that is loyal to him and is willing to fight for his. The command to go through fire and water and be invincible became the cornerstone for him to replicate the miracle of his father's "capture against the odds".
However, Changsun Wuji, who was always considered to be able to assist him in achieving great things, was so eager for success and even reckless and ignorant. He ruined the good situation once he started an army and started an uprising. No guarantee.
The carriage swayed forward, and traces of the war could be vaguely seen on both sides of the muddy road. Many broken ordnance had not yet been cleaned up, which made Li Jia lament his bad luck.
It is almost conceivable that when the prince was trapped in the Taiji Palace, facing the fierce attacks of the Guanlong army every day, he could only struggle to hold on, and there was danger of overthrowing at any time, but Fang Jun was in the north of Chang'an City, outside the Xuanwu Gate. , leading his elite soldiers to fight left and right, fighting bloody battles.
Never failed!
He defeated the Guanlong army ten times, and even made repeated raids, fighting a bloody path for the prince and creating a bright future!
Li Zhi read history books and knew that Fang Jun was the indispensable minister beside every emperor who made great achievements. Unfortunately, even though he repeatedly showed his kindness to Fang Jun, Fang Jun only regarded him as a child. Ignore it...
In the distance, Youtunwei Camp is in sight, and even further away is the towering Xuanwu Gate. It is cloudy today, the light rain has begun to stop, and the air is filled with wet moisture. The tall Xuanwu Gate stands like a god. Everywhere you look is like a gate leading to the peak of power...
Weeds grew on the flat ground outside the camp gate, and the breeze undulated like waves. A group of people stood in front of the camp gate, and the prince's guard of honor fluttered in the wind.
The Prince of Jin, who was accompanying the carriage, approached the carriage and whispered: "Your Highness, the prince comes out of camp to greet you!"
Li Zhi in the car was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Stop!"
Li Chongzhen, who was driving, also saw the guard of honor coming out of the camp to greet the prince from a distance. When he heard Li Zhi's shout in the carriage, he stopped the carriage.
Without anyone else to serve him, Li Zhi opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, glanced forward, then trotted over, with a joyful smile on his delicate face, and shouted from a distance: "Brother Prince!"
The eager, cordial and joyful emotions of a young brother who admires his elder brother flow out...
The prince was riding side by side with Fang Jun, talking in a low voice, when he suddenly saw the carriage stop in the distance, and then Li Zhi jumped off the carriage, holding up the hem of his clothes and trotting over, his voice full of cordiality and enthusiasm.
Fang Jun smiled and said in a low voice: "Look at our King Jin, he really has a deep brotherhood!"
The prince glared at him and said angrily: "Don't be so arrogant... Everyone has small thoughts, but there are some things that are not done but thought about. Since you haven't done it, it's not a big deal just thinking about it."
How could he not have any complaints about Li Zhi who has always coveted the position of crown prince? But he understands that anyone who is qualified and has the opportunity to get involved in that supreme position in the world will probably be difficult to treat with a normal heart. This is not a big mistake. When Changsun Wuji was coerced and tempted, Li Zhi was able to firmly refuse and did not become a weapon used by Changsun Wuji to attack him, the prince. Li Chengqian was satisfied.
Some things can only be judged by deeds, not by heart. After all, everyone has greedy thoughts, but just thinking about it but not taking action on it is harmless...
He kicked off the saddle and dismounted, limping two steps forward. When a sincere smile appeared on his face, Li Zhi had already rushed in front of him.
There was no etiquette between monarchs and ministers. Li Zhi rushed to the prince, grabbed the prince's arm with both hands, looked up and down, tears flowed down, and choked: "My younger brother is in the palace, and I heard that the rebels were revolting." , The prince's brother is in danger, and his heart is burning, but he has no strength to restrain the chicken. Even if he goes into battle to defend the prince's brother, he cannot do it. It is a death penalty! "
After saying that, he cried loudly and bowed his head to the ground.
Li Chengqian's mouth twitched. In terms of acting skills, he admitted that he was far behind his half-brother. Fortunately, he didn't care about the other person's little thoughts. He stretched out his hands to pull Li Zhi up and patted the other person's shoulder. , said happily: "Pheasant slave has this heart, Brother Yu is very happy. As for the rebels, they have meritorious ministers such as the Duke of Yue who have braved the thorns and fought bloody battles. Why does the pheasant slave need to put himself in danger? On the contrary, Brother Yu is worried about you and Qingque, lest you be harmed by the rebels. Can’t sleep.”
These words were sincere. He was really afraid that Changsun Wuji would try to use the King of Wei and the King of Jin to attack the legitimacy of his throne. After being rejected, he became angry and violently attacked the two princes...
< br>
Fang Jun also got off the horse at this time, bowed his hands to the ground and said with a smile: "Wei Chen has met His Highness the King of Jin. His Highness has a kind heart. This brotherly love makes Wei Chen inexplicably moved."
Li Zhi was pulled up by Li Chengqian, with tears still on his face. After hearing Fang Jun's words, he looked slightly embarrassed.
Brotherhood?
He was determined to win the reserve position. After many strategies, he never cared about the brotherhood...
Li Chengqian took Li Zhi's hand and said with a warm smile: "Several princesses are waiting to greet you at the camp gate. You will have to stand with Brother Yu for a while and wait for Qingque."
As he said that, he glared at Fang Jun without any trace, blaming him for being petty and insisting on holding on to old things.
Fang Jun smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Do you really think that by defeating the Guanlong clan and firmly occupying the city of Chang'an, your position as prince will be as secure as Mount Tai?
How naive, my Crown Prince...
However, you can't say more about these words. He has mentioned them many times, but the prince still seems not to realize the truth of the matter, so that's all he can do. If once you make it clear to the prince, the prince's expression, attitude, and behavior will all change, then you will be in serious trouble...
On the other side, the two brothers held hands and chatted quite enthusiastically, but Li Zhi's mind was entirely on Fang Jun, and it was inevitable that he was a little resentful.
He always believed that his talents were much higher than that of the prince, and he was a more suitable candidate to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the reason why Fang Jun did not "choose a tree to live in", but instead "secretly" was loyal and devoted to the prince, to a large extent The reason is that the prince not only did not interfere with the matter between him and Changle, but even let it go and indulged it...
But you can clearly do this yourself!
To the extent that in order to gain the full support of Fang Jun, a prominent figure in the world, not only could he be tolerated to hook up with Chang Le, but even hook up with another Si Zi.
But this damn Fang Er didn’t even give himself a chance!
Alas, it is shameless for two people in this room to fall in love with each other upon seeing each other. What a pity for the smart, charming and charming Wu Lady... Thinking of this, he could no longer control himself and frequently glanced at the camp gate not far away. There was a large group of people waiting there, and I wonder if there was that beautiful figure that haunted me...
Not long after, the sound of hoofbeats rumbled in the distance, and a group of chariots and horses came galloping from far to near. When they came to a halt, the generous figure of King Li Tai of Wei jumped out of the chariot, walked to the prince in a few steps, and saluted respectfully: " My brother has an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Fang Jun also followed suit and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"
Li Chengqian held Li Zhi with one hand and Li Tai with the other, and said happily: "My brother, why do you need to be polite? Come on, let's go into the camp and talk!"
Then he took the two brothers and walked towards the camp gate.
Li Tai glanced at Fang Jun, exchanged glances with him, and felt relieved when he saw Fang Jun smiling and nodding slightly...
Fang Jun cupped his hands and said: "Your Highnesses, please come into the camp for a talk. I am still in the army and will not accompany you for the time being."
The three of them stopped, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The situation is urgent, I'd like to trouble Erlang."
Fang Jun bowed and said: "Don't dare to slack off when it comes to your responsibilities."
Watching the three of them holding hands and walking into the camp gate, where the princesses and female members of the Fang family who had been waiting for a long time greeted each other, Fang Jun worried that Li Zhi would still covet Wu Mei Niang, and then shook his head and laughed. , turned around and mounted his horse, led his soldiers to patrol around the military camp, and then rushed to the Xuanwu Gate to discuss the situation in the city with Zhang Shigui.
……
Outside the Chunming Gate, Cheng Yaojin led the Zuowuwei who had arrived three days ago. They set up camp and purged the defeated troops at Guanlong nearby. They were paying attention to the situation in the city and learned that Gao Kan had led the Youtunwei to withdraw from Chang'an City and completely exhausted the defenses. They all handed over to the Sixth Command of the East Palace, and then chased the tail of Guanlong's army southward and headed straight to Zhongnan Mountain. They could only hope that Gao Kan would move faster, don't care about casualties, and annihilate this last Guanlong army as soon as possible.
Cheng Yaojin is not a political idiot. On the contrary, under his seemingly rough appearance, he has a naturally keen heart for politics. He is always able to choose the best way to respond to the political trends in the DPRK and China, and he has proven successful every time.
So he naturally understood that now Guan Long seemed to be completely defeated and facing the danger of losing his family and his family. In fact, it had quietly become an urgent target for Dong Gong and Li Ji, hoping to completely conquer it and use it as a sharp knife against the powerful families in Jiangnan and Shandong. .
But this is not in line with Cheng Yaojin's own interests, not to mention that it will be difficult for the Shandong clan behind him to complete the great cause of occupying the court in one fell swoop for many years, and it will also make him stand on the front line of competing with Guan Long. , and whether it is the prince or Li Ji behind Guan Long, he is absolutely unwilling to be hostile.
Therefore, he hoped that Gao Kan would live up to his expectations and break up the Guanlong clan before Li Ji arrived in Chang'an. Even if he could survive, it would be difficult to achieve success.
However, things went against his wishes. Although Li Ji still marched unhurriedly, several military orders arrived a day, constantly urging him to quickly resolve the chaos in Chang'an and completely eliminate the mutiny.
The purpose was actually very simple. Cheng Yaojin did not want to be hostile to the prince, so why would Li Ji be willing?
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin can only do bad things. When he forces Donggong and Youtunwei to give up completely annihilating the Guanlong clan, Li Ji will return to Chang'an leisurely and take charge of the overall situation...
Looking at the warrant that Li Ji had sent to him, Cheng Yaojin cursed angrily in his heart, Dute's wife is a ghost, and she is not the son of a human being! (End of chapter)
