Chapter 1218
At midnight, the Tai Chi Palace is brilliantly lit.
His Majesty Li Er was wearing a bright yellow tuanlong robe and sat on a chair in the Dragon Hall, his face was gloomy, and there was a hint of thunder and anger.
Li Junxian knelt in front of him on one knee, and presented the note from Changsun Chong to His Majesty Li Er, explaining the situation in detail.
When he finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er did not say a word.
The arm-thick candles in the hall were burning brightly, there was the sound of howling wind through the gaps in the windows, and the windows on the east side were illuminated red by the raging fire in the East Market.
After a long while, His Majesty Li Er finally said: "Go quickly to assist Fang Jun, and remember that no matter what price you pay, you must bring back Princess Changle intact. If there is any accident in Changle... you So don't come back, just kill yourself to thank Jun."
The voice is obscure, cold and decisive.
Li Junxian's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "The final general will obey the order."
Standing up, bowing and taking two steps back, he turned around and strode away.
His Majesty Li Er in the hall raised his eyes to see the fire in the red sky over Dongshi, and called out in a deep voice, "Where is Wang De?"
With the sound of footsteps, Wang De quickly walked out from the side hall on one side, and when he came close, he bowed and said, "The old servant is here... what orders does your majesty have?"
"Go to Duke Zhao's mansion immediately and tell Changsun Wuji that I want to see him right away!"
"promise!"
Wang De left in a hurry.
There was silence in the hall, except for the whimpering sound of the night wind blowing through the gaps in the windows.
The statue of His Majesty Li Er generally sat still, but his expression under the candlelight became more and more gloomy and ferocious, just like the dark clouds gathered in the sky before the storm, and the dark clouds became denser and thicker!
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er waved his arm vigorously, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, book, tea cup and other things on the table in front of him were swept away by him, and fell to the ground one after another. broken into pieces...
His majesty Li Er's eyes were ferocious, with blue veins throbbing on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Beasts are worse! Really, beasts are worse! Chang Sun Chong, I swear that I will cut you into pieces so that you will die without a whole body!"
The maids outside the hall heard the sound and hurried in to visit.Seeing the mess all over the place, he was about to come up to clean it up, but suddenly he heard His Majesty yell like spring thunder: "Get out!"
"promise!"
The servants almost died of fright, they shrank their necks and tucked their legs, and retreated out of the hall like a quail...
His Majesty Li Er tried his best to contain his anger, slowly closed his eyes, and just sat in the hall without saying a word or moving.
The shadow of the candle is fluttering, and the east window is like blood...
Then the servant's voice came from next to his ear: "Your Majesty, please see me outside Zhao Guogong's palace."
His Majesty Li Er still closed his eyes: "Xuan."
"Well..."
……
"My humble minister has an audience with His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji's voice sounded, and His Majesty Li Er slowly opened his eyes.
A pair of tiger eyes shone brightly, and his complexion was as gloomy as water, staring straight at the eldest grandson Wuji bowing his head in front of him.
Mostly because he came in a hurry, Changsun Wuji was slightly out of breath, with sweat stains on his forehead, and even just had time to change out of the plain clothes on his body, and he hadn't washed it, his bun was messy and he looked haggard, and his gray hair looked very messy. The majesty of the Duke and the first-class official?
If it were in the past, His Majesty Li Er must be full of emotion in his heart. How sad and heartbreaking is it for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person?Thinking of the past friendship, even if Changsun Wuji made a big mistake, he would laugh it off.
But now, His Majesty Li Er didn't have any sympathy in his heart, but only endless anger!
"Auxiliary machine, how will I treat you?" His Majesty Li Er's tone was gloomy, as cold as a knife.
Changsun Wuji's heart trembled, knowing that what should come is still coming, so he could only say: "Wearing the sky and walking on the ground, as thick as a mountain!"
"How do I treat your eldest grandson's family?"
"Your kindness is like the sea, and the wind is gentle."
"Bang!" His Majesty Li Er slapped the table angrily, and roared: "You still know? I thought all the favors to your eldest grandson's family these years were eaten by dogs! In the past, I fought side by side with a certain man to create In the Great Tang Dynasty, Empress Wende and a certain couple have a deep love for life and death. I am a nostalgic person, so I have a lot of grace for my eldest grandson's family. Looking at the world's aristocratic families, who can compare with your eldest grandson's family? I don't know how many impeachments have been made against you I have suppressed Changsun Wuji's over-favored memorials, and never heard a single word. But now, how do you treat me?"
The empty hall was filled with His Majesty Li Er's angry roar, and the echoes were buzzing.
Changsun Wuji was trembling with fear, his body was sweating profusely!
In the Xuanwumen incident where His Majesty Li and Li Er seized the right to inherit the throne, Changsun Wuji was the one who made the first contribution...
When preparing for the coup, he was firm and sincerely advised; when preparing for the coup, he traveled day and night to communicate with internal and external sources;Therefore, His Majesty Li Er never forgot the merit of Changsun Wuji's life, and said to the ministers from time to time: "I have the world, and most of it is due to this person's strength."
Correspondingly, His Majesty Li Er's trust and respect for Changsun Wuji is beyond the reach of others, even Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and other important officials are far behind.
The truth of "be famous all over the world is followed by slander" is the same in ancient and modern times. Changsun Wuji is so reused, and slander is naturally born.Not long after he was appointed as the number one hero by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and became the Duke of Qi, someone secretly came to remonstrate with Emperor Taizong, thinking that the eldest grandson Wuji was too favored and full of pride and ambition, which was not conducive to the unity of the monarch and his ministers and the stability of the country...
But how did His Majesty Li Er do it?
Not only did he not doubt Changsun Wuji, but he also showed the secret form to Changsun Wuji to show that the emperor and his ministers had no doubts.At the same time, His Majesty Li Er summoned a group of ministers to give political lessons to everyone.He said to his officials: "My son is young, and my eldest grandson Wuji has made great contributions to me. He is like my son. He is distant from relatives and new from old. I will not accept such divisive remarks..."
This kind of trust and love is the best in the dynasty!
"Pfft!"
Changsun Wuji knelt down on his knees, stamped his head on the ground, and cried out sadly: "This minister has failed His Majesty's trust, and his heart is cut like a knife. But please Your Majesty punish the minister's death penalty, this minister will be willing to do so, and there will be no complaints and forgiveness." !"
In the Tang Dynasty, it was not fashionable to kneel and kowtow, and such etiquette was only performed when offering sacrifices to the Heavenly Father.At this moment, Changsun Wuji was filled with fear and guilt, so he could only express his feelings with this supreme gift...
"Hehe, death penalty?" His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and grinned: "Changle is my eldest daughter, and I regard her as the jewel in my palm. I have never felt wronged or reprimanded. I will entrust her to your eldest grandson." My family, how did you treat her? Her father who conspired to usurp and kill her! And now? That bastard dared to take Changle away, what did he want to do?"
Changsun Wuji cried out sadly: "I have no way to teach my son, a death penalty, a death penalty!"
His Majesty Li Er raised his head and never looked at the weeping grandson Wuji again. He stared at the wide beam above his head and said word by word: "Now Fang Jun has gone to rescue Changle. I will still give your eldest grandson family wealth and honor for the rest of your life. But if something happens to Changle, your eldest grandson family...except you, let everyone go and be buried with Changle!"
The eldest grandson Wuji in the palace only felt a burst of coldness, and shivered shiveringly...
He knew that Chang Sun Chong's repeated rebellious actions had already angered His Majesty Li Er, and gradually exhausted his past affection.
However, he never expected His Majesty Li Er to be so angry that he could say such decisive and harsh words!
Except for me...all buried with Princess Changle?
If I'm the only one left in the eldest grandson's family, then why am I still alive...
Changsun Wuji felt sad.
He also didn't know what kind of madness Changsun Chong had gone, why he kidnapped Princess Changle?A one-night couple and a hundred days of friendship, even if the two are reconciled now, they still have to think about their past love, right?
Now it's a good thing, my son is responsible for causing trouble... the whole family is responsible for it!
How could he still care about his son and worry about the life and death of his eldest son Chong?
Quickly stated: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will go to join Fang Jun and find the hiding place of Changsun Chong. I will bring his head back with my own hands and apologize to Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er was silent.
Changsun Wuji wiped his tears, got up and saluted, then bowed and exited the hall.
