Chapter 326: An Autumn Rain
"You must forsake me and leave!"
Tang Jingzong, who had been silent, fell into silence as soon as he spoke, and united with the king of Thailand to rebel, Tang Jingzong can understand that everyone has their own aspirations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info after all, everyone's pursuit of things is different.
But for Guan Kang and others to abandon the country and leave at this moment, Tang Jingzong really can't tolerate it.
Leaving Datang, leaving his familiar land, and going to a strange place, this is a good thing to say is to go out and break out of his own world.
But for their behavior, no matter what kind of cloak they put on it, it can't hide the treason of Guan Kang and others!
Heartbroken, leaving his parents to go to a foreign country, never allowed to meet his parents in Datang for eternity, such a heavy price, just in exchange for an illusory promise from others.
Is it really worth it?
A question made tens of thousands of people silent now, and a sad atmosphere appeared in everyone's hearts, and among them, Guan Kang and the others heard Tang Jingzong's questioning, and their hearts were also very complicated.
Recalling the promise made to him by the King of Thailand at the beginning, looking at his current field, Guan Kang also didn't know why he promised the King of Thailand in the first place.
"When this king ascends the throne, it will be the time when you will be crowned king!"
Thinking of the promise made to himself by the King of Thailand, Guan Kang smiled bitterly, and was crowned the king and the prime minister, this thing that made him once very tempted and abandon everything for it, until now, Guan Kang knows very well that he will never get these.
With a look of guilt on his face, Guan Kang raised his head and looked at Tang Jingzong and said slowly
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
"Father, it's time for us to go."
Guan Kang's opening was interrupted by the King of Thailand at this moment.
The King of Thailand saw everything that happened just now, and the King of Thailand understood that if he didn't speak, I was afraid that Guan Kang and the others would not be able to rekindle their fighting spirit in the future because of guilt. Even in a serious way, Guan Kang's depression has been slumped since then, and the King of Thailand doesn't want to see this ending.
Although there are only more than 5,000 people, this is indeed the capital of his comeback
At this moment, let the two stop, and wait until their side leaves the Tang Dynasty, the king of Thailand is trying to make Guan Kang and others get rid of the obsession in their hearts, but for what the king of Thailand thinks, Tang Jingzong is not ready to let him get his wish.
"I ask you, you really want to abandon me and leave!"
Ignoring the King of Thailand beside him, Tang Jingzong let out an earth-shaking roar like a lion that had been roaring.
Tang Jingzong's questioning voice this time was very loud, and now everyone outside the Ganlu Hall heard this question at this moment.
They looked at Tang Jingzong like an angry lion with a frightened face at the moment, and many people didn't understand why their majesty suddenly became like this.
Holding his breath and not daring to pant loudly, the 80,000 soldiers of the Mansion turned their eyes to Guan Kang at this moment, waiting for his answer.
When the King of Thailand beside Tang Jingzong saw his father, he suddenly had an aura that others couldn't look at directly, and he was at a loss for what to do at the moment because he was afraid, so he actually took a step back.
Glaring at the Thai king's guards with a shocked face at the moment, holding his own King of Thailand hostage, Tang Jingzong broke free of his hands and took a step forward. Then he said to Guan Kang with a calm face
"Since I ascended the throne, I have asked myself to be worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and worthy of every citizen of the Tang Dynasty!
"Guan Kang, do you remember the natural disaster in Tongzhou three years ago?" Tang Jingzong's eyes were sharp, looking at Guan Kang and said
"I remember." Guan Kang bowed his head and responded.
Three years ago, a natural disaster occurred in Tongzhou, and the land was not harvested, resulting in the displacement of people and countless refugees. But at that time, because the treasury was tight, there was no disaster relief, and the people's actions against me were also controversial about my inaction.
As the lord of the Tang Dynasty, of course I can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, but three years ago, the emptiness of the treasury has reached the extreme, and I also feel very remorseful for my inaction. β
"As the lord of the country, but you can't save your people, do you understand the pain?"
"The minister can understand His Majesty's helplessness."
"Nope! Don't understand! You don't understand anything! β
Tang Jingzong's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he said to Guan Kang's crazy roar.
There were already tears in his eyes, and he hated himself for not being able to do it, and at this moment, Tang Jingzong patted his chest hard and said bitterly
"People die of hunger, no one collects the corpses, let the corpses rot and become food in the bellies of birds and beasts, that kind of helplessness, that kind of sadness, you really understand."
The sound of whimpering kept coming out of Tang Jingzong's mouth at this moment, and at this moment, Tang Jingzong finally couldn't bear the bitterness in his heart, he secretly lowered his head, and tears of remorse finally flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
After seeing Tang Jingzong's current appearance, everyone was also very uncomfortable at the moment
They who are not in their position, who do not seek their positions, and who have never been emperors, do not know the helplessness of watching the people die in their own faces, but they have nothing to do.
With a long breath, at this moment, the 80,000 government soldiers, together with Huang Ziqian, Liu Tiannan and others, also felt a sour nose now, and their mood was very sad.
The first time they heard Tang Jingzong talk about this, they seemed to have been brought into the perspective of the emperor by Tang Jingzong, and the feeling of hating themselves was also clear to everyone.
After being silent and secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, everyone continued to look at Tang Jingzong and waited for him to continue to speak.
After Tang Jingzong in front of the hall said these things, he also had a stunned expression.
"This matter is a piece of my heart, but in the end, when Taifu Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian and others learned about it, Guan Kang, do you know how they did it?"
Tang Jingzong's opening of the question at this moment made Guan Kang show a look of shame on his face.
The natural disaster in Tongzhou three years ago finally relied on the two million taels of silver sent, which temporarily allowed Tongzhou to survive.
But the two million taels of silver sent to Tongzhou, it is not a treasury, these two million taels of silver are all the savings of Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian and more than a dozen important ministers of the court!
It stands to reason that Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian and others don't have to do anything, but out of their responsibility, the Tang Dynasty's parents and officials, they finally did what they did.
Because of the help of Liu Tiannan and others, Tongzhou was temporarily allowed to survive, and for their actions, Tang Jingzong originally wanted to let the world know, but they rejected Tang Jingzong.
The reason for the refusal was very simple, without a trace of hypocrisy, without a trace of far-fetchedness.
"Although we are in the court, we are still the people of the Tang Dynasty after all! When the country is in trouble and our compatriots are suffering, how can we sit idly by! β
A very simple sentence completely made the names of Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian and others resound in every street and alley of Datang.
"Guan Kang, I ask you, how do you compare with Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian, etc.?" Tang Jingzong changed the topic, looked at Guan Kang with a serious expression and said
"Your Majesty, Taifu and General Huang are people who are loved by all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the minister is not qualified to be compared with them."
"You're right, Liu Tiannan, Huang Ziqian, no matter their reputation, their ability is not known to be many times stronger, but even so, they are still loyal to me and have always been by my side, do you know why?"
"I don't know!"
"Since you don't know, I'll tell you! They have always wanted to stay with me because they believe in me! They believe that the Tang Dynasty will become stronger and richer in my hands! β
"And Guan Kang, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and them?"
Guan Kang held back his tears at the moment, and responded with a guilty face
"I don't know."
"The biggest difference between you and the two of them is not in the level of official rank, nor in the difference in identity, the biggest difference between you and them is that your starting point is different!"
"They care about Datang, and all they think about every day is how to benefit the people of Datang! Don't let them continue to suffer! β
"And you! Although he is a Datang official, what he thinks about every day is to use the power in his hands to seek more benefits for himself!
Ignoring the suffering of the people, ignoring the words of the people, and thinking about himself wholeheartedly, Guan Kang, I ask you, are you right about the people of the Tang Dynasty! β
"Boom"
After Tang Jingzong finished saying this, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky, and the lightning flashed briefly, which made Guan Kang see Tang Jingzong's regretful expression clearly.
Thinking back to his past actions, and remembering what Tang Jingzong said today, Guan Kang's eyes were uncontrollable at this moment, and he kept crying.
And he is not the only one who is crying at this moment, the soldiers behind Guan Kang who participated in the coup d'Γ©tat, their expressions are the same as Guan Kang's now.
Although they and Guan Kang have different identities, they can't understand what Tang Jingzong said, but now they really regret their coup d'Γ©tat.
"Poof!"
Guan Kang, along with the five thousand soldiers behind him, knelt in front of Tang Jingzong at this moment, and then everyone said in unison
"Your Majesty! I'm waiting to know my mistake! I beg Your Majesty to give me a waiting death! β
A sentence is said by one person, the voice is very low, but if it is said by 5,000 people together, it can shake the heavens and the earth! And in this earth-shaking sound, there is not a trace of falsehood in it
At this moment, they no longer have any face, and what they hope most is that they can use their death in exchange for Tang Jingzong's forgiveness.
And the King of Thailand, who had been silent and watched the whole process, closed his eyes at this moment and slowly left tears, and as soon as his right hand was released, the musket fell to the ground at this moment.
Immediately turned around and looked at Tang Jingzong, who was also looking at him now, the King of Thailand bit his lip and said a sentence that made him lose all his strength
"Father, son...... Erchen lost. β
The light rain in the sky at the moment, the appearance of the autumn rain, began to slowly wet everyone's clothes, looking at the king of Thailand who was depressed and had no strength at the moment, and was sitting on the ground, Tang Jingzong closed his eyes and looked back, letting the rain fall on his face...... (To be continued.) )
