Chapter 33: The Capture of the Palace
Li Yan only felt that this person was quite scheming, and he was a little more vigilant in his heart. Therefore, he said with a straight face: "What do you want me to help with? Let me tell you first: What you want me to do must not violate morality." If it's a bad thing, I won't say yes!"
Huo Jun stood up suddenly, and said with a straight face: "The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I, Huo Jun, swear: What the contemptible people asked Li Yingying to do is a great thing for Kuang Jun to assist the country and protect the territory and the people." There are gods three feet above my head, if I have half a word to lie, I will not be able to die if the sky thunders and splits!"
This oath was quite heavy, and although Li Yan still had doubts, he also believed it. He said, "What is the matter with Chief Huo? But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Huo Jun's face sank: "We are going to mutiny tonight!"
Li Yan was stunned: "Isn't that a rebellion?"
Huo Jun said: "You are right to say rebellion. However, we are against the people and thieves, in order to return peace to the people of the Han and Han ethnic groups!" He sighed and continued: "Brother Li, you have lived in Han for a long time, do you know where the crux of the war between Baihufan and the Central Plains is for many years?"
Li Yan shook his head: "This is all a national event, I don't know." ”
Huo Jun said: "At the root of it, the problem is still in the White Tiger. The current suzerain of Baihu Fan is equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains, who is tyrannical and greedy. As long as he is in power, he will inevitably seek provocation to the Central Plains in order to enrich himself!"
Li Yan clenched his fists and slammed it on the table: "Damn!"
Huo Jun nodded: "Yes, it's hateful, so you have to change." As you can see, the prince is the first important minister in my White Tiger Dynasty, and he has always disliked disputes and admired Chinese customs.
If he can take power, it will be a great blessing to the people of Fanhan!
Brother Li, tonight we are not so much a 'mutiny' as a 'military admonition'. It's to let the sect master get lost!"
He thought that these words would coax Li Yan to agree, but Li Yan shook his head and said, "I won't do it." ”
He bowed to the prince and said: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of the next generation, our Central Plains has a saying: One will succeed for eternity." A general is still like this, let alone an emperor?
As the saying goes, your emperor has done a lot of evil, and God will clean him up. But if war starts, I don't know how many innocent people will die and how many will be displaced. This is a great injustice!
You say it's for the well-being of the people of Fanhan, but I think it's just for you. ”
The prince is proficient in Chinese, and these words are really heard in his ears. He changed color and was about to have a seizure, but Huo Jun immediately stopped him with his eyes. The prince suppressed his anger and snorted. Goo took a big sip of wine and sprinkled it on his beard.
Huo Jun said: "Brother Li's words are wrong. If there is a war, we should even have millions of people, put on armor and fight, and meet the faint king's soldiers.
But we didn't.
Prince Zag's 30,000 elite soldiers are still grazing in Helan Mountain. Would we do such a stupid thing if we were for power?
Brother, there are thousands of ways to rebel, why did the prince choose the most dangerous one? If today's military advice fails, he will have no choice but to die and die for the country.
If it weren't for the sake of the people, who would want to let go of the good Taiping prince and not do it, but risk being scolded by the people of the world and holding the sect master hostage?"
Li Yan said: "My master taught me that everyone can do many unbearable things for the sake of power. ”
Huo Jun smiled: "Your master is a master, but what he said is not entirely right. Power can harm people, but it can also benefit people. Throughout the ages, which wise and virtuous minister has no power in his hands? Without power, how can he work for the welfare of the people?"
He slapped his hands three times, and a pro-soldier walked in outside, holding a brocade box and placing it in front of Li's case.
Li Yan opened it and saw that it was a lotus flower that was as white as jade, but had already dried.
Huo Jun said: "This is the thousand-year-old snow lotus. Prince Zag kept his promise and would never break his word. Brother, we mutinied tonight, and there are only a few hundred participants in it, so we urgently need a brave man like you with great skills.
I ask you to do the prince this favor for the sake of the common people in the world. I'm bowing to you!"
With that, he stood up solemnly and bowed deeply.
Li Yan took the box into his arms and asked, "I...... What if you don't?"
Huo Jun made a gesture of please: "You can come and go freely, listen to it." Just don't divulge what's in the account. ”
Li Yan slowly stood up, but sat back again, and it was not difficult to see the hesitation in his heart.
Prince Zag was so anxious that his beard curled up, but Huo Jun seemed to be confident.
Li Yan didn't expect that the goal would be achieved like this. He can now take this thousand-year-old snow lotus to save Master's life.
But...... But what if what this person named Huo Jun said was true? What if as long as he made an easy move, he could stop the war and let the people of the world no longer suffer from war?
What if it's true?
After thinking about it, Li Yan finally had an answer in his heart: if he left now, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
He was still closing his eyes and meditating, but Huo Jun smiled and nodded slightly to the prince. If a person hesitates, he will not continue to stick to his previous decision.
Sure enough, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I promise to help you." But I have one request: don't kill anyone!"
Huo Jun said: "As long as we can open the palace gate, we won't hurt anyone." But if someone else comes to hurt us, the sergeants will not stand still. ”
He played a word game with this, which meant that he didn't say it. Li Yan didn't understand the trick, and nodded: "Okay, when will you do it?"
"It's midnight. ”
Li Yan said: "I'll go eat something first, and I'll set off with you in the evening." ”
Huo Jun gestured to please, and the subordinate took Li Yan out of the tent.
Hearing that Li Yan had walked away, the prince suddenly asked, "Mr. Huo, do you really believe in this young man so much?"
"Yes, my lord, I believe in him. This man is a man with great good thoughts in his heart. He can't turn a deaf ear to the suffering of others.
Even if the pain didn't have anything to do with him, he couldn't do it.
So, with a noble reason, he will die and become your sharpest sword. Besides......"
Huo Jun smiled: "In a sense, we didn't lie to him, because even in the most brutal political struggle in the world, we are talking about a little ideal."
For example, if I am for profit, how can I not let the comfortable Beijing officials not do it? I came to this bitter cold land from the gentle and rich country? The prince, although I have exhausted all the organs, I still care about that ideal!"
The prince nodded: "Very good." I, Zag, will not let you down tonight!"
"Lord Wang......" Huo Jun said: "Tonight is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go." The subordinates wish the prince a great success! The three hundred dead soldiers are all in place, plus Niu La, and this Li Remnant, who is like a god in swordsmanship, we are one step closer to victory. ”
Prince Zag pondered for a moment and said, "Can you get the defense map in the Blessing Palace?"
"It's all ready!"
"Any news of the sentry planted in the Praetorian Guard?"
"It's business as usual, just wait for tonight. ”
"Well......" the prince touched his beard, "but why do I still feel a little uneasy?"
"Lord Wang," Huo Jun said, "There is one biggest variable in this matter. That is the leader of the white-clothed monks of Mingwang Temple - the mud bodhisattva. ”
