Chapter 676: The Righteous Seek Death

For several days, the sound of war drums outside Jiangning City disturbed Li Lan's uneasiness, and Ji Guangchen and others took refuge in Gao Shi, so he had to hide in the capital governor every day and sigh. Seeing that his father was so depressed, Li Hao, the king of Xiangcheng, planned to persuade him to fight to the death, but it was better to fight to the death than to hide in the city every day and wait for death.

Indeed, since Ji Guangchen and other Jianghuai people defected one after another, Li Lan has taken no more measures, and seems to have despaired.

"Father, is it possible that we raised troops down the river from Jiangling just to wait for death in Jiangning?"

Li Lan didn't seem to hear at all, only half leaned on the soft couch, looking at the scroll in his hand motionlessly, as if only from this scroll could he get a moment of peace. He twisted his neck unnaturally to one side, and the insomnia of the past few days made his neck stiff and sore.

For this kind of ignorance, Li Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore and had a complete seizure, only to see him run over excitedly, snatch the scroll from Li Lan's hand, and then slam it out again.

"Study, study, if my father only thinks about 'losing', why did he agree to raise troops in the first place?

was robbed of the scroll in his hand, Li Lan finally reacted, but his voice was still a little dull.

"Raise troops?

If it weren't for you to persuade me with Xue Hao's design, you and my father and son would still be enjoying a peaceful life in Jiangling at this time, why would there be such a miserable situation?"

Li Hao was panting in anger, and Nur smiled:

"Is it all the son's fault? Doesn't the father want to reign over the world?"

At this moment, Li Hao has completely understood that his father has been weak and irresponsible all his life, and he wants to stabilize the throne of the Son of Heaven, but he does not dare to face setbacks and difficulties, can he expect this kind of person to turn the tide?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hao was desperate, he really couldn't figure out how it had come to the point of betraying his relatives and leaving his relatives, and was it all an illusion that he had come to vote at the beginning? Why did the imperial court send an envoy from the light pole to win over all the Jianghuai people and horses?

"You make your own decisions about everything, and if it's hard to decide, ask Wei Changshi!"

Looking at his son's long howl on his back like a maniacal attack, Li Lan finally said something serious.

Li Wei turned around and left angrily, even ignoring the etiquette between the monarch and the minister, father and son, leaving Li Lan, who looked completely indifferent, alone in the dark.

However, when he found Wei Zichun, the governor of Guangling, who had high hopes on his back and was even regarded as a life-saving straw, was helpless.

In today's situation, Wei Zichun is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, not to mention that he is good at planning long-term strategies, rather than dealing with this specific military deployment. Originally, he suggested that Yongwang Li Lan should choke Jiangling and sit in Guangling, and take the land of Jianghuai as the foundation, which is indeed a suitable long-term strategy, but it is precisely because of Li Lan's father and son's repeated mistakes that it has led to the current situation.

He thought about it for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, and said bluntly:

"If it weren't for King Yong and King Xiangcheng running away overnight, why would the Jianghuai generals scatter and flee overnight?"

was so accused by Wei Zichun, Li Hao's face was very unbearable, and he wanted to say a few hard words to cover up his embarrassment, but he really couldn't find a suitable excuse.

For a long time, he collapsed on the couch with his head down, his eyes a little glazed.

"The matter has come to this point, please only ask Mr. to save my father and son from danger!"

Wei Zichun shook his head.

"Wei received the great favor of King Yong, and naturally repaid him with death, and now that the imperial court has become a trend in Jiangnan, it is even more difficult to change it. ”

Li Hao jumped up like his buttocks were burned by a red-hot charcoal fire.

"Isn't there a way to do it?"

Wei Zichun was silent, but this silent answer was enough, Li Hao finally couldn't help crying, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to leave a stench for 10,000 years, he would have to carry the infamy of rebellion for generations, he still wanted to be the prince, and then the son of heaven...... But now, all the fantasies have become a big dream, and even before I smell the smell of this big dream, I have been woken up by the cruel and cold reality!

"No, no, there must be a way, get rid of Mr. and think again......"

Wei Zichun said:

"If Xue Hao is still there, he may be able to command the army to recover some of the declining ......"

Xue Hao had served in the army in Longyou and Anxi for more than ten years, and later left the army because he offended the chief, and then took refuge in Li Lan, who was kind to him, after the rebels broke through Tongguan. It's a pity that Xue Hua sacrificed his life for Li Lan in vain, but in the end, it was this kind of result.

Wei Zichun really felt sad and sorry for Xue Hao, but what could he do? Xue Hao was a righteous man with an ancient style, but the father and son of King Yong were both ambitious and talented and irresponsible, this is the time and fate, and mortals can't resist!

The appointed Wei Zichun saw through the ending, but he would not re-fold the tree like Ji Guangchen and those people.

Li Wei lost his mind and yelled hysterically.

"What did you do about Xue Hao? Do you blame this king for killing Xue Hao?"

Wei Zichun was silent, what else could he say? He had to let Li Hao scream and jump, as if he had nothing to do with it.

Li Hao made a fuss for a while, his body was exhausted, and finally the whole person collapsed on the ground, muttering indistinctly:

"It's a dream, it's a nightmare, wake up, wake up...... I want to go back to Chang'an, go back to Chang'an......"

Suddenly, I saw that Li Hao's face was already covered with snot and tears, crying like a child.

Wei Zichun finally couldn't bear it, and said:

"If the king of Xiangcheng wants to return to Chang'an, Wei also has a plan, but I don't know if the king of Xiangcheng is willing!"

Hearing this, Li Wei was like a life-saving straw, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person straightened up from the ground again.

"Sir, say it quickly, I'm willing, I'm willing!"

Wei Zichun looked at Li Wei and said word by word:

"Excuse the Son of Heaven!"

For a moment, Li Hao didn't react.

"Ask the Son of Heaven for sin, ask for sin, you can go back to Chang'an, ask for sin, and you can get your father out of the encirclement of Gao Shi......"

The series of rhetorical questions came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly understood, and an uncontrollable anger immediately appeared in his eyes, and he slammed his fist on the ground.

"Could it be that Mr. Jean, let my father surrender? Wei Zichun, you bastard who eats inside and out......"

Wei Zichun didn't react otherwise, only nodded.

"Only in this way can we survive Chang'an! Moreover, we can only surrender to Gao Shi!"

Li Wei was hysterical again.

"Gao Shi erector, this king can't wait to feed this bastard to the dog with skin cramps and ......"

After scolding for a while, Li Wei finally quieted down.

"It is also a law to ask for sin, so I will persuade my father to ......"

When he was about to go out, he turned his head back and looked at Wei Zichun with disgust in his eyes.

"If Mr. wants to save his life, he can learn from Ji Guangchen, why do you have such an idea of betraying the lord to seek glory?"

This sentence is really mean, Li Wei left without looking back after speaking!

Wei Zichun sat alone under the light of a bean, and a wry smile finally appeared on his face. If it weren't for the eternal king's life-saving grace with him, how could he have stepped into this fire pit with one foot? But this was his choice, and he has not regretted it until now. After sitting for a while, Wei Zichun touched the short blade on his waist, a short blade is far from enough to defend himself, the reason why he always carries it with him now is to protect himself with death one day.

The short blade is very delicate, the short handle is wound with gold wire, and the end is set with pale blue gemstones...... After rubbing for a while, Wei Zichun said as if talking to himself:

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn to come in handy soon......"

……

On the Jiannan West Road, on the ancient road leading from Bazhou to Guanzhong, a convoy of more than 1,000 people slowly moved a little bit northward, like an old and clumsy tortoise.

In this team, there is an old man with white hair, who is Li Longji, the son of heaven who has been fighting in the world for more than 40 years. It's just that he is no longer the Son of Heaven, and the position of the Son of Heaven was taken away by his son more than a year ago, and after the initial anger and sadness, he gradually accepted the fact that he became the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang was just a pitiful worm who lost his political struggle, lost his authority, lost all his past glory, and was imprisoned and guarded by his son, and he could even imagine a miserable evening after the Emperor Taishang.

No, this is not just Li Longji's imagination, when Gaozu was forced to move out of Taiji Palace and move to another courtyard after becoming the emperor, his humiliation, embarrassment and helplessness were no longer visible. But his biological father, Emperor Ruizong, was lonely and resentful when he was imprisoned by himself, but he will never forget it in this life.

The spring breeze has been proud for half his life, and Li Longji never thought that he would actually follow the old path of his father and ancestors. However, how could Li Longji be so willing to admit defeat so easily? Even if he ended up in such a situation, he never gave up for a moment!

"Your Majesty, these are the third wave of envoys, urging Your Majesty to return to Beijing soon, Prince...... No, the emperor misses His Majesty very much......"

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi and said:

"This title is going to be changed, it's okay to have barren mountains and mountains here, if you return to Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!"

The desolation was beyond words, and Gao Lishi couldn't help but shed a few muddy old tears when he saw this.

Li Longji paused for a moment before he added:

"In the future, I will be called the emperor, I can still bear this grievance, it's just a false name!"

Gao Lishi raised his sleeve to wipe the faint tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded frequently.

"Okay, be happy, tell the messenger, and say that I can't go fast with this old bone!"

Colliers choked up again and nodded in agreement.

Li Longji looked at him and suddenly asked:

"The reason why I chose to return to Guanzhong from Bazhou through the Meridian Pass is that I want to go slower, you look at the report from Jiangnan. ”

Although Li Longji is too emperor, after all, he is still outside, and he still has a certain degree of autonomy, he can issue edicts clearly, and he can communicate with state affairs.

Gao Lishi knew that this must be news about Yongwang Li Lan, and only when Yongwang was mentioned, would the Emperor Taishang have a little smile on his face.
