Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 329 Even this king wants to laugh [Thanks to Cangyu Cangyu for the reward]

It was not only Pei Ju who was suspicious, Chen Shuda also suspected that the prince deliberately slowed down the marching speed, and sat back and watched King Qin die in battle.But he didn't dare to say it, especially in the current situation, he didn't dare to say such a thing.

The imperial court is now at a critical juncture. If he sues the emperor again, suspecting that the prince deliberately murdered the king of Qin, the emperor will not go to the prince, but will put him in prison for interrogation first.Especially since the prince is still resisting the Turks in Taiyuan at the moment, Chen Shuda can only hide his suspicion deeply in his heart and dare not show it.

As for Pei Ji, he also thought of these things, and was extremely suspicious of the prince's intentions.Even so, he dared not say it.

But helplessly, as Lao Li's good friend, the emperor's eagle and dog minion, he was called to the palace by Li Yuan the next day.

Li Yuan's spirit was still poor, and his face was still ugly.

"You said, shouldn't I send Dalang to rescue Erlang?"

This is a terrible question, so Pei Ji naturally dare not tell the truth.He cupped his hands and said: "Your majesty's thoughts, the old minister knows a thing or two. Now that the clan generals are guarding different places, at that time only the crown prince was by your majesty's side. It is best to send the crown prince down."

Li Yuan said: "Pei Ji, you know that's not what I meant."

Pei Ji asked suspiciously, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Yuan's face suddenly turned red, "I suspect that the prince did it on purpose, he deliberately slowed down the marching speed!

I read the battle report of Shuozhou, the crown prince will leave in June, and he will definitely arrive in Shuozhou within half a month, but in fact he did not!
The prince said that it was raining heavily and the march was slow. When he arrived in Taiyuan, bad news had already come from Shuozhou.

I know, he is lying to me!

He wanted to wait for Erlang to die first before sending troops.

right! "

Can this follow the emperor?

Certainly not!

Pei Ji bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, we will have to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to return to find out the truth. Now we don't know the real situation. Your Majesty should not speculate."

Li Yuan took a deep look at Pei Ji and said nothing.

In fact, he was extremely remorseful.He believed in the prince too much, or in other words, he was too self-righteous, thinking that the prince would abandon the past at this time and save King Qin.

"I regret it a bit."

Hearing this, Pei Ji buried his head, not daring to speak.

After a pause, Li Yuan said: "Send someone to Prince Qin's mansion to comfort the family of Prince Qin well."

"Yes."

Qin Wangfu.

After hearing the news of Li Shimin's death in battle, Princess Qin seemed to have lost her soul, wearing filial piety clothes and sitting in the mourning hall all day long.

When the court servant came, she had just returned from her soul, so she managed to pull herself together to deal with the court servant.

In addition, people from the East Palace, Qi Wang Mansion, Chu Wang Mansion, and the mansions of various ministers came to Qin Wang Mansion to express their condolences.

Although there were many people, the atmosphere was very dull.

Changsun didn't cry, even though she knew that her husband was killed in battle and her brother was missing, she just didn't cry.

Crying doesn't solve the problem.

The eldest son, Chengqian, was wearing filial piety clothes, with a white hat covering his little head. He leaned against his mother in a daze, at a loss.

He didn't even know what happened today.

A Niang suddenly became very strange.

Because of the death of King Qin and the crisis brought by the Turks, Chang'an was in a state of panic.

The battle in Bingzhou was critical, and the messenger from Chang'an took the official route and ran to the death of six horses. Finally, he arrived in Hebei on the sixth day and informed the king of Chu.

Knowing that his second brother died in battle, Li Zhiyun fainted on the spot.

Not long after, Li Zhiyun woke up and ordered the three armies to wear hemp and filial piety for King Qin.

The large tent of the Chinese army was transformed into a mourning hall. Du Ruhui found someone to temporarily make a spiritual tablet and put it on the incense table. In front of the spiritual tablet, three sticks of incense were inserted in the incense burner.

Li Zhiyun's forehead was wrapped in a white cloth, and he couldn't help crying.

"Second brother!

How did you leave!
Fifth brother, I'm sorry for you!
what--! "

Outside the tent, Yu Chigong couldn't help being worried when he heard Li Zhiyun's heart-piercing howl, he jumped back and forth repeatedly, restless.

Seeing Du Ruhui, he went up and said: "Du Ruhui, His Highness is in great pain and grief inside, beating his chest and stamping his feet. No matter how hard I try to persuade him, he can't be persuaded. Go inside and comfort him. He listens to you the most."

As he spoke, Yuchi Gong clasped his fists together.

Du Ruhui raised his hand and waved it, "Don't be in a hurry, let His Highness cry for a while."

"Ah?" Yuchi Gong was confused.

"Ahh!" Li Zhiyun's heart-piercing howl came from inside the tent.It felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

In the corner, Chu Suiliang looked at Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, and Xue Yuanjing, feeling a little funny in his heart.

Although the King of Chu was crying like hell, he always felt a little weird.

It seems that the king of Chu cried like this on purpose.

Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang hurriedly stopped his dangerous thoughts.

Not long after, there was no sound in the tent, and Du Ruhui walked in alone.

Li Zhiyun sat slumped on the ground with no tears on his face. Although he looked very sad, he felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

"Your Highness."

Li Zhiyun's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Du Ruhui.

"Kemin."

"Your Highness needs to calm down and take care of yourself. Now that Taiyuan is at stake, the saint is still looking forward to His Highness going down to defeat the Turks."

Li Zhiyun smiled bleakly, and laughed at himself: "Keming, to tell you the truth, just now I tried my best and couldn't cry. I even wanted to laugh. Tell me, is my heart like a snake or a scorpion?"

Du Ruhui thought about this question carefully, and then explained it to Li Zhiyun.

"Your Highness values ​​brotherhood, and this subordinate understands it and understands it too. But please think carefully, Your Highness, if the prince is not the King of Qin who died now, may I ask Your Highness, would the King of Qin cry bitterly for his brother?
Taking a step back, if King Qi died, would King Qin be heartbroken? "

Do you even need to ask, definitely not!

Not only will it not, but it may even be secretly happy in my heart.

Even, like him, crying on the surface moved the heavens and earth, but actually laughed wildly in his heart.

Li Zhiyun calmed down silently and did not continue to dwell on this issue.He reached out and patted Du Ruhui's shoulder lightly.

"Treat me with my heart, and I will repay you with my heart."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui heaved a sigh of relief.

When he was answering the question just now, he understood for the first time what it means to be with a king like a tiger.He never wants to encounter such a terrible problem again.

"Thank you Your Highness for treating me sincerely."

Li Zhiyun smiled and said with emotion: "Now, I will only talk to you about what is in my heart, thank you for not despising me."

Du Ruhui said seriously: "It's a subordinate's blessing to be valued by the lord."

He thought to himself, if the King of Chu ascends the throne in the future, he might be the confidant of the King of Chu's confidants.

For example, Pei Ji?
Thinking of this, he felt a little complicated.

After crying, Li Zhiyun called civil and military discussions to go to Taiyuan to support.

Du Ruhui and Xue Shou had already discussed the matter of support countless times.

"Your Highness, crossing Jingxing can support Taiyuan as quickly as possible. At the same time, it can directly threaten the flanks of the Turkic soldiers and horses who are besieging Taiyuan, so that they will not dare to act rashly and relieve the pressure on Taiyuan."

Li Zhiyun nodded and asked, "Who has a different opinion?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying no.

"Very well, then it's settled." Li Zhiyun stood up and said ferociously: "This time, I want to destroy Jieli and avenge my second brother!"

"Yes!" All the generals clasped their fists together.

Following the order of the King of Chu, all armies set off one after another.Its speed is so fast that it has been cleaned up within a day.

It feels as if it has been prepared for a long time.
