Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Front Line Is in Trouble
Sima Xuan smiled, " Similarly, as a person who plays politics, he must have a superhuman vision, the second son is not as simple as the surface, just look at his eyes, you will know that it is not easy to be with him, Xie Tong can escape from the killing situation I carefully laid out, and destroy Xue Yue's inevitable position, it is not a fluke, but it is actually the result of his insight and careful planning, this person in Yangzhou has lured you and Cao Pingyang to steal the sword, but it shows that this person is a wise and foolish person, but he is not willing to show it, this southern expedition, he will definitely be able to show his skills, instead of winning over at that time, it is better to give him some sweetness now, he is a smart person, he will not understand things๏ผโใ
Sima Xiangru said again, "But my father even promised Hong Shan to go out, and the second brother knew that he was afraid that he would be unhappy!"
Sima Xuan's face sank, and he said, "What else will this waste do except eat, drink and have fun, with the old man's understanding of Hong Shan, I'm afraid that Jinyu is going to die of this heart." He paused, and then said, "After I arrive in Jiangnan, keep an eye on Xie Tong for me, if there is any trouble, you can cut it first and then play."
Sima Xiangru said: "Get the order!"
Xie Tong came out of the palace, and just after turning the corner, a carriage crossed in front of him.
Xie Tong said in his heart, who is waiting for him here so late at night! And the time is so accurate, it is obviously prepared.
The coachman jumped down, walked up to Xie Tong, and said, "General Xie, my master has invited the general to the car."
Xie Tong said in his heart What day is today, so many people are looking for him, is it because he became a general? He couldn't help but be complacent, the people in this car were very pompous, looking for him Xie Tong had something to do, but he looked high, which made him very dissatisfied, and he asked, "Who is the master of your family?"
The coachman hesitated, "The general will see when he gets in the car!"
Xie Tong said in his heart, with his skills, in this huge Chang'an City, I am afraid that few people can hurt him, what if he lies in the carriage, he cleaned up his joyful mood, strode on the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked into the car, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
There were two big candlesticks hanging in the car, and sitting in the car was Wu Wang-Li Zheng.
Xie Tong hurriedly knelt at the entrance of the carriage and said, "The last general will see the prince!"
Li Zheng said, "Let's be flat!"
The carriage was not high, Xie Tong couldn't straighten his waist, but it was even more uncomfortable, so he simply knelt there all the time.
Li Zheng looked at Xie Tong's embarrassed appearance and said, "Sit down next to this king!"
Xie Tong was busy thanking, he was not pretending to be fake at the moment, he sat beside the prince tremblingly, he had roughly guessed the purpose of the prince to see him, I am afraid that it is almost the same as Sima Xuan, the key is that he has just come out of the Taiwei Mansion, and he is looked at by King Wu, I am afraid that King Wu will be more or less suspicious. King Wu is no better than Sima Xuan, he can talk eloquently, this royal clan with a heavy army in his hands, can break his body into thousands of pieces at any time. But after thinking about it, King Wu was testing his reaction and loyalty, since he knew Xie Tong's skills, he dared to share a car with him alone, obviously he trusted him very much.
Li Zheng's face sank, and he suddenly said, "Xie Tong, tell this king, what are you going to the Taiwei Mansion for! If there is a lie, this king will immediately take your life!"
Xie Tong was shocked into a cold sweat behind his back, and sure enough, as he expected, he said without thinking, "Lord Qi, Lord Taiwei hinted that the end would support his idea in the name of revitalizing the Tang Empire and concentrating the power of the emperor."
King Wu said coldly: "Xie Tong, you have to think about every word you say now! If you spread rumors and slander Taiwei, I'm afraid that the first person to take your sacrificial flag is not Taiwei, but this king." โ
Xie Tong slowly thought about the purpose of King Wu seeing him, King Wu was the hope of the Tang Empire, and he was the only remaining royal family member who could lead troops to fight, and he would definitely maintain his father's rights and would not be in the same league with Sima Xuan's generation. Because their goals are opposite, and they are irreconcilable, thinking of this, Xie Tong's face did not change and said, "The last general is true, because Xie Tong is a loyal supporter of the Tang Empire, and he does not want to see the empire fall, let alone see the clan valve grow into the center of power that affects the fate of the empire, Lord Wang, the Tang Empire is not only the royal family's, but also the thousands of poor people in the world, Xie Tong sincerely hopes that the poor people will be able to rise one day, not be oppressed and excluded, and can have the most basic rights." This is also the real reason why Xie Tong is reluctant to join the side of the Tai Lieutenant. If the prince blames the last general for this, or if the last general beheads the sacrifice flag, the last general will not complain, just because the last general does not want to be in the same league with some ill-intentioned and ambitious people." With that, he hurriedly knelt down and stared at Li Zheng's actions.
Li Zheng was obviously stunned by this remark, now Sima Xuan's heart has become clear, the clan is planning an unprecedented Zhongxing plan, as Xie Tong said, Sima Xuan and others are planning to seize the supreme dominance of politics, which is unacceptable to him as a member of the Tang clan. However, now is not the time to deal with Sima Xuan, everything will have to wait until the southern expedition to Huangchao to clean him up. However, since Xie Tong can understand all this, he is obviously a resourceful person, this person can be civil and martial, and loyal to the empire, he is a rare talent, and Datang may need such a person to revive.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled up Xie Tong and said, "The general's words are serious, this king just tested it a little, to see if the general can be used by me and the Tang Dynasty!
Xie Tong sat next to King Wu again, his back was already soaked, at this moment he was extremely excited, even happier than the previous victory, he finally found a wise man, a key person who insisted on the empire unshakable, could see through the clan valve conspiracy, and had the strength to compete with it.
Xie Tong hugged his fists and said, "The last general will follow the left and right of the prince, and he is willing to serve the prince." โ
Li Zheng, the king of Wu, said, "If the general is like this, our army will definitely be able to break the traitor of the Yellow Nest, remember not to reveal the relationship between you and this king to anyone, this matter is confidential, and it will play a pivotal role in the future operation and deployment!"
Xie Tong said, "The last general knows."
King Wu said, "Let's go back! The army of the day after tomorrow is about to set out, and the envoys of Jiedu from all over the country will also rush to the front line, and this king wishes the general a victory and a triumphant return."
Xie Tong said, "Why did you set out so quickly, didn't you set out until more than ten days later?"
King Wu continued, "This king received news before dusk that Zhu Wen has broken through Yingzhou City?"
"What?" Xie Tong couldn't believe his ears and said, "Then tomorrow's competition is going to be canceled!"
Li Zheng said, "When is it, who still has the heart to do such a thing, look at it! The court will announce the specific news of the southern expedition tomorrow morning."
Xie Tong slowly stepped off the carriage, watching the carriage disappear into the night, this was the first time he felt that the great wish of the master was expected to come true, everything was on this prince named Li Zheng, I hope he can accept his ideas!
Xie Tong put away his happy feelings, and his mood was faintly depressed, the army was about to set out, and facing him was his good brother - Zhu Wen, the man who was like the god of war. Thinking of Zhu Wen's gift before parting, when we meet on the battlefield one day, we must not be soft-hearted, but must fight with real knives and guns! Can he really do it? He doesn't know, all he knows is that hope is ahead.
