After all, it is the first emperor of the ages, Ma Lu said in his heart.

Steaming bear's paws is an old thing for King Chu Cheng, but there are really bear's paws here.

It took a lot of time to make the dish of steamed bear's paws, so after ordering the Turkic maids, Ma Lu returned to the hall and sat opposite Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, he can no longer be regarded as a monarch.

Neither of them spoke again, and for a while they had their own thoughts.

The reason for the matter is very simple, Li Longji took advantage of Ma Luan's northern expedition to return to Su, and wanted to lead troops to Anxi (Qiuzi) to move the Ma family's workshop to Chang'an, so he secretly summoned Hun Xuan, the general of the Shuofang Army in Tingzhou, and ordered him to take over Tingzhou City, and the people who obstructed him were killed. The effect he wanted was that the Shuo Fang army would kill a group of Han Navy and Ma Lan's own soldiers who were originally protecting Tingzhou while taking over Tingzhou, as a means of beating Ma Lan. As for whether these athletes died unjustly, he didn't care, because he was the emperor, and those were just some fighting men.

However, what he didn't expect was that the elite soldiers of the 5,000 Shuo Fang Army failed to control the city of Tingzhou, but ended up with the annihilation of the entire army. In terms of the Tingzhou military horses, only less than 200 people were lost.

At that time, Hun Yang fled to his residence, he borrowed the head from Hun Yang and refused to use Hun Ying, but threw down a few fire thunders and fled, and then Ma Xuan's personal soldiers rushed into the house, he had to reveal his identity as the Son of Heaven, but put the blame on the head of the young Tiele general Hun Ying, saying that Hun Yang wanted to kill the king, and everyone was the loyal minister Yunyun who rescued the driver.

Originally, those fighting men had already believed it, and they were extremely happy to get a rescue achievement, Li Longji originally thought that this matter would be over. Unexpectedly, within two days, the Tingzhou military horse would know the truth, and know that he, the Son of Heaven, originally intended to want them to bleed in vain!

In fact, Li Longji at that time was a little ashamed in his heart. After all, he can't stop these loyal and brave athletes, which is equivalent to being caught doing bad things. He still knew the truth of the five steps of blood splashed in anger, so at that time, in addition to being ashamed, he was more afraid, afraid that those killers would be angry and take his life.

But the men, though angry, did not kill him. However, he was trapped in this Tingzhou City and was not allowed to leave this mansion.

Speaking of which, he was relieved at the time, after all, he saved his life. After all, he couldn't stop those athletes.

However, as time passed, the guilt in my heart became less and less and more anger.

He is the Son of Heaven, and those people are just ants. Less than 200 people died. They dare to lock him up here. This is deception. This is rebellion!

At this time, he no longer felt that he was wrong. He only thought that his general would come back as soon as possible, even if he couldn't break through the Hui Hui, it didn't matter, let him escape from the cage first. As for those killers who dare to imprison him, the Son of Heaven, they naturally have to exterminate all their families. Li Longji felt that he had been too merciful all these years, and these courtiers dared to be so presumptuous, and he should take this opportunity to rectify the atmosphere and let the ministers of the world know the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

However, in the end, it was such an ending. He didn't expect it.

His most trusted general has returned, but he has not come to save him. but to seek justice from him.

For the sake of the lives of less than 200 people, his general wants him, the son of heaven, to die! Li Longji couldn't figure out what this was and didn't believe in the nonsense that every Han person's life was equal, but what he understood was that his life was coming to an end.

He personally pushed him to the position of the god of the Tang Dynasty, he appointed him as the envoy of the Five Towns Festival, he suppressed the criticism of his excessive power in the court, and he was able to have today's powerful position, all of which were caused by him, the Son of Heaven.

He is very good, Tubo, Dashi and this return to Hui, the piles are all the work of destroying the country, but such a general has forced him, the son of heaven, to a dead end.

This place is not Chang'an, but Beiting. There is no Beiya Forbidden Army at hand, there are no people from Lijingmen, all the people are the general's people. Even the Turkic maidens who served him were his people. In this place, he was really a loner.

Li Longji stared at his senior general and didn't want to say anything. At this point, there is no need to say more. He was a man of heaven, how could he go and ask a minister for his life? Even if you die, you must die dignified, like a son of heaven.

It takes a lot of time to eat steamed bear paws, and King Chu Cheng wants to eat steamed bear paws because he wants to delay time and see if anyone will come to save him, but he doesn't have such thoughts. There was no way anyone would come to his rescue, just enough time for him to think about something. At this time, all the past is flooding back to me. Webster, Princess Taiping...... The faces of these people, who had almost been forgotten, suddenly became clear again.

It has now been fifteen years since Tianbao, he has been in charge of this empire for forty-four years, and he is already seventy-two years old, which can be regarded as a high life among emperors.

Immortality is never attainable, and leaving the world at such an age is already God's love.

Thinking back on the events of these years, Li Longji was silent. A lifetime of ups and downs, there are indeed too many things to recall.

If what this thief says is true...... Datang is still Datang, and now that Datang is calm, how will people evaluate him as an emperor in the future?

……

Ma Luan's expression was solemn, and his heart was not calm.

After all, the old man opposite is Li Longji, a figure who created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but made the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty cut in half.

And now, he has personally driven him to the brink.

Along the way, I couldn't sleep at night, and I thought about today's situation. Now sitting in front of the Son of Heaven, everything is doomed, and his heart still can't be quiet.

This is, after all, an emperor, and an emperor who is very good to him.

However, Ma Lan knew that he could not let him go.

If it was Ma Lan, a man from Guanzhong back then, it would naturally be the same thing. But he is not, he is from the Hereafter.

This is the fact that it comes from later generations that determines his style of conduct. The blood of the nearly 200 athletes who died in vain could not be shed in vain.

If this incident did not happen in Beiting, but in Chang'an, he would have made the same choice. It's just that at that time, he had to become a rebel.

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Although this was not fully achieved in later generations, it was still a direction to strive for.

So he doesn't think he's wrong, at least this time, he doesn't think he's wrong.

However, this is a king-killing after all!

In later generations, he was just an ordinary person, and he read more messy books, but he was still an ordinary person. In this era, fate has changed, but what is in the bones has not changed.

So to do such a big thing, he will naturally be nervous. From the moment Mobei made his decision, he was very nervous all the way.

Seizing every free time of camping and tossing the sword water princess named Curan because of nervousness. Every night is almost sleepless, also because of nervousness. The time to postpone this place by doing various things during the day is because of nervousness, but at this moment, facing Li Longji, his appearance is calm after the showdown, but his heart is already extremely nervous.

The killing is decisive, but it is only in the face of aliens. In front of him is a Tang Emperor. First the light and then the darkness, but after all, he created a prosperous era. Under the sky of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, people left too many things worthy of the admiration of future generations.

He doesn't care how many aliens kill, but now he wants to force a Tang Emperor to death, a real emperor through the ages.

15 years of Tianbao...... This was the last year of Li Longji's reign. This point seems to coincide with the original history.

In the original history, after Ma Wei's mutiny, Li Longji entered Shu, the prince went north to Lingwu, and soon after he became independent, changed the Yuan to Germany, and served Li Longji as the emperor, and sent an envoy to Shuzhong to ask for the national seal, Li Longji sent someone to send the national seal to Lingwu, and since then it has withdrawn from the center of the historical stage of the Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Zhide, An Lushan died, and the two capitals were overcome, Li Longji returned to Chang'an, first lived in Xingqing Palace, and was later moved to the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace. "The south garden is bleak and the west garden is barren, and the light clouds and autumn trees are all over the palace wall. Hundreds of generations of saints and sons of heaven refused to be emperors. Li Longji, who became the emperor, lived for another six years, but he was under house arrest in the palace, and the evening scene was quite bleak.

The Son of Heaven died here, the crown prince Li Heng will ascend the throne, and the throne of Tianbao will change in the fifteenth year, which is still in the context of the original history.

Ma Lan sat opposite Li Longji, trying to put on a calm appearance, hiding his inner tension, thinking about these things in his heart. Time passed slowly, and there was a strange aroma wafting over, which should be the taste of steamed bear paws.

The Turkic maids didn't know what was going to happen, and were busy in the kitchen. No one suddenly appeared to save the emperor, and the two people in the room were still sitting opposite each other, their eyes not leaving each other, but they were thinking about their own thoughts.

No matter how long you wait, there will finally be an end. The Turkic maid with a slightly bulging lower abdomen walked in slowly with a steamed bear paw, her delicate face was full of a petty smile, and she put the fragrant food in front of Li Longji, and then slowly retreated.

Li Longji watched the woman's figure disappear, looked at the food in front of him, sighed slightly, sat up straight and looked at Ma Lan and said, "It smells very good, doesn't Ma Qing come a little?" ”

"Weichen is not hungry, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Ma Lan looked solemn and shook his head.

"Huh!" Li Longji smiled, his expression became extremely solemn, and he began to taste the delicacies in front of him.

……

Late at night.

"Your Majesty is dead!"

Ma Lan walked out of the mansion, took a deep breath, looked at the two of them and whispered.

When Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin heard this, their faces changed slightly.

"I ate a steamed bear paw, choked for a while, and then ......" Ma Lu waved his hand with a calm face, "Send someone outside the city and invite Duan Junzi." ”

There was a faint cry from the mansion, which came from those Turkic women, who didn't know if they were crying for the dead Son of Heaven or worrying about the unknown fate.

Gao Gu and the others took the order and left, and it didn't take long for Duan Xiushi to hurry over. (To be continued......)
