Chapter 3990 is so cruel
When His Majesty Li Er arrived in Chang'an as an emperor, everyone was shocked and speechless. After all, all signs showed that His Majesty Li Er had already died in Liaodong. At this moment, he suddenly sacrificed himself at the head of Bashui Bridge and under the city of Chang'an. People simply couldn't believe it. Eyes...
No matter how much the military lieutenant generals, the civil and military officers of the DPRK and China smelled of the conspiracy, how sinister the thoughts were from His Majesty Li Er's "resurrection from the dead", and how shocked and emotional they were, for ordinary soldiers, seeing Li Er His Majesty Zhuo stood on the chariot shaft with his head held high. All the sadness, shame and self-blame he had felt before turned into ecstasy at this moment. Wherever Li Ermai got off the car, the soldiers jumped up from the mud and raised their arms high. Weapons, arms and cheers.
The high-pitched sound waves came one after another, overwhelming mountains and seas, splitting rocks and piercing clouds!
In the hearts of billions of people in the glorious Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er's prestige was overwhelming and unparalleled. Even if Dong Gong Liu led this army that was loyal to the prince, after scouts confirmed again and again that His Majesty Li Er had indeed returned to Chang'an, He also raised his arms and shouted, and his morale was high.
There is both joy that His Majesty Li Er has not died, and joy that the war is about to end. The soldiers have not thought about what His Majesty Li Er's "resurrection from the dead" means to the East Palace...
In the wilderness, cheers penetrated the surrounding areas and shook the clouds. Chang'an City in the distance did not know what was happening here, and it would inevitably cause a commotion and turmoil.
Li Chengqian looked at the "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" slowly approaching, and knelt down on his knees in despair, raising his head to look at the majestic figure on the huge carriage. When the "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" stood still in front of the East Palace formation, Li Chengqian Seeing that face clearly, I couldn't help but feel bitterness and tears in my mouth, and my heart felt both ecstasy and cramping.
She was ecstatic that her beloved father had "resurrected from the dead" and was standing in front of her again. However, she was distressed that since her father was not dead, he sat back and watched the Guanlong Rebellion and allowed his eldest son to fall into disaster without doing anything. Even the emperor had returned But Guanzhong still avoids it, secretly instigating all forces to endanger the reserve...
For a time, all kinds of emotions, such as loss, low self-esteem, resentment, and resentment, came and rolled in my heart, causing everything inside to burn, and it is difficult to describe it with pen and ink.
It wasn't until Ma Zhou behind him stabbed him covertly in the waist that he suddenly woke up, took a few steps on his knees in the mud, knocked his head heavily on the ground, muddy water splashed around, and shouted: "I respectfully welcome my father back to the palace, father." The emperor’s power covers thousands of miles, his blessings cover the world, and his longevity is boundless.”
Behind him, the civil servants, generals, and thousands of soldiers dismounted and knelt down: "My emperor may live forever!"
……
It was drizzling, the wind was blowing, and His Majesty Li Er was standing on the shaft of the chariot. The troops on all sides were prostrate and prostrated on the ground, so densely packed that one could not see the edge at a glance. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he "resurrected from the dead" and returned to Chang'an, which made these unruly and arrogant soldiers and generals who regarded death as home be so happy that they were willing to kneel at their feet, making his unparalleled prestige fill the world, unparalleled in the world!
His hand was stroking the jade belt around his waist, and his armor was washed clean and shiny by the rain. His Majesty Li Er stared expressionlessly at the prince who was kneeling and kowtowing not far away. His eyes were deep and complicated, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. .
Wang Shoushi glanced at the prince who was kneeling in the muddy water, bowed and whispered: "The rain is getting heavier. Your Majesty's dragon body is in a hurry. It's better to return to the palace quickly."
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a few moments, and then said in a deep voice: "Get up and go back to the palace."
"Here!"
Wang Shoushi answered the order, then straightened up and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, get up and go back to the palace!"
"Hoola!" Tens of thousands of people suddenly stood up, and the sound of the collision of armor and leaves suddenly gathered in the city with a muffled sound like thunder. All the soldiers lined up in order to escort His Majesty Li Er and continued towards Chunming Gate.
The six horses raised their hooves, and the carriage started slowly. The "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" separated the array of the East Palace troops like cutting through the water, and marched towards Chang'an. His Majesty Li Er stood as tall as a mountain, with a resolute look on his face. When he drove past the Crown Prince, Ignoring the prince, he continued to kneel in the mud and water...
The rain poured on his body, soaked his clothes, flowed down his face and neck, and dripped into the mud on the ground. Li Chengqian was cold all over, his face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his eyes were wide open, and his mind was a little dazed.
Behind them, the officials in the East Palace were silent. They now faced a dilemma: to be loyal to His Majesty, or to stand firmly on the side of the Crown Prince?
When it was speculated that His Majesty had passed away in Liaodong, these people, either for their own interests or to support the Empire Zhengshuo, remained loyal to the East Palace and remained unswerving even if the Guanlong rebels were powerful. However, now His Majesty Li Er is back in full force. As an emperor, he is naturally the first object of allegiance in the world. However, after the Guanlong Rebellion, they have been recognized by the government and the public as "princelings". Your Majesty will accept their surrender and continue as always. Can it be trusted and reused?
In addition, during the Guanlong Rebellion, they had the power to help the East Palace, and the Crown Prince reciprocated their trust. If His Majesty returns to Beijing and things are not good for the Crown Prince, what will they do?
Emperor or prince, which one should I choose?
At a time when thoughts are chaotic and uncertain, there is only one thing that almost everyone agrees on: the prince is in danger...
Xiao Yu, Liu Jie, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou and others all looked sad and hesitant. The prince was still kneeling there. Anyone who got up at this time would be ignoring the prince... Even if he wanted to pledge allegiance to his majesty immediately, he couldn't. Do this blatantly, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, and the prince will hate you to the death.
Ma Zhou sighed, walked a few steps forward on his knees and came behind the prince, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's okay to think too much. Please follow your Majesty back to the city to maintain order and beware of riots in the city."
Everyone in the world has concluded that His Majesty Li Er died in Liaodong. Now that he has returned to Chang'an in full force, it will inevitably cause surprise and ecstasy among the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an. If strict precautions are not taken, it will inevitably lead to turmoil. If there are people with ulterior motives who quietly instigate it, it may even happen. Large-scale riots occurred.
Then the imperial censors impeached him, and the prince committed a serious crime... It should be noted that until His Majesty returns to the palace, the prince still shoulders the power of supervising the country. Whatever happens in Chang'an, the prince will bear the responsibility.
His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards the prince is already clear, how can he add another serious crime and give him a handle?
Li Chengqian also came to his senses, and staggered when he stood up. Fortunately, Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to help him, so that he did not fall into the mud on the ground.
He stood up, and the Dong Palace team members who were kneeling on the ground behind him dared to stand up.
Li Chengqian stabilized his mind, looked around, and said in a hoarse voice: "What Ma Fuyin said is true. All of you dear friends are just humerus bones, and you will follow them back to the city to make preparations to welcome your father back to the palace."
< br>
At this time, he must not pretend to be generous and say something like "We all should be loyal to His Majesty", otherwise someone will use this as a step to step down and leave the East Palace. Instead, he will tie these people to the East Palace chariot, even if If you have different aspirations, you can only follow him to the dark side...
Sure enough, no matter what these ministers thought in their hearts, they all agreed: "I will assist His Highness in all matters and welcome His Majesty back to the palace."
Li Chengqian's face was a little brighter. As long as everyone in the East Palace was united, they might not be able to fight. His father couldn't ignore the public opinion and the praise and criticism of history and just force Yi Chu, right?
Ma Zhou reminded him in a low voice: "Things here have become hasty and unexpected. Your Highness should send someone to inform the Duke of Yue immediately so that the Duke of Yue can be prepared..."
Li Chengqian wiped the muddy water on his face and smiled bitterly. Others might say he was in a hurry, but Fang Jun probably already knew the details, right?
In the past, Fang Jun's words were inaccurate and sounded inexplicable several times. He had thought about it but couldn't figure it out. Looking back now, Fang Jun had already hinted to him several times, but he had never understood it.
Of course, he didn't mean to blame Fang Jun. Since his father was still alive and devoted himself to operating these methods for the purpose of easy storage, Fang Jun must have been warned. How could he dare to tell him the truth? There must be his father's eyes and ears around him. Once his words and deeds are leaked, Fang Jun will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.
For the sake of Yi Chu, the emperor even ignored Chang'an and turned it into a scorched earth under the raging rebels. How could he not kill a mere Fang Jun?
On the contrary, Fang Jun knew that his father was still alive and was well aware of his father's intention to change the throne, but he always stood firmly on his side and turned the tide to defeat the rebels and win, which was enough to show his loyalty to him.
After all, the other side of this matter is his father who has always favored him and has great prestige...
Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian calmed down, nodded and said: "That's right, now I'm bothering the Prince of Jiangxia."
Li Daozong heard the words on the side and felt bitter in his heart, but he could not shirk it: "I have accepted the order and will send someone to Xuanwu Gate to inform the Duke of Yue."
The reason why he stood on the side of the East Palace was because he supported the imperial Zhengshuo. After the death of His Majesty Li Er, there were rebels plotting to depose the crown prince and establish a new crown prince. How could he sit back and watch? But now that His Majesty is back, he has boarded the East Palace ship, which is not something he can do just by thinking...
After taking a few steps away, he summoned his own soldiers, gave some instructions, and watched as the soldiers got on their horses and rode away.
Li Chengqian took the handkerchief Xiao Yu handed him and wiped the muddy water on his face. His mood had completely recovered, and he said solemnly: "You are all Gu's confidants. Your loyal heart makes Gu burst into tears. I swear here that we will never meet each other in this life." Negative! ”
Everyone hurriedly bowed. Although they knew that the prince was speaking from the bottom of his heart at this moment, and that his success in the future would be supported by the government, and their status and power would be unmatched by anyone, they still had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Judging from the fact that His Majesty Li Er concealed his injuries and even manipulated public opinion to make the whole world think that he had died, his determination to be easy to save was as firm as iron, and he even sat idly by while Guanlong was wreaking havoc and almost reduced Chang'an to ashes. Now, Your Majesty returns to Chang'an. How difficult is it for the Crown Prince to continue to sit firmly in the position of Crown Prince?
Even if the empire is reduced to ruins, even if the world is shaken by this, His Majesty's heart is as solid as stone. After all, he is his biological father and son. Why is this necessary?
So cruel...(End of chapter)
