Chapter 944: Dialogue in the Manna Temple
After the carriage of Xiangcheng entered the Taiji Palace, it was not hindered in any way, and Yu Linwei followed by the carriage, who would think about it? Because of this carelessness, Wanrou entered the Taiji Palace without danger.
The majestic palace, Qionglou Yuyu accompanied by glazed tiles, I used to come here when I was a child, but my memory has long been blurred, so I think it was the first time I came. The carriage stopped outside the Ganlu Palace, and Xiangcheng was not in a hurry to get off, because Wanrou still had something to do. The long sword shone with a bright cold light, and it was so inappropriate to put it on Xiangcheng's neck, but Wanrou had to do it, she had to see Li Shimin. There was still a distance of fifteen zhang from the carriage to the Ganlu Temple, and this distance had to be taken by Xiangcheng to take her over.
When Xiangcheng stepped out of the carriage, Rong Renliang was stunned, why was there a person in the carriage, and how did this person get in? Rong Renliang couldn't think about it, because the sword was still on His Highness's neck, and when he pulled out the Tang knife, Rong Renliang shouted, "Be bold, let Your Highness go quickly, otherwise you will be crushed!" ”
Wanrou is not afraid of Rong Renliang's threat, she has seen death countless times in her life, how can she be afraid of these bluffs. Rong Renliang didn't dare to do it, if he dared, would he still need to say so much nonsense.
Rong Renliang's roar did not suppress Wanrou, but it attracted hundreds of Yulin guards, and all the guards on duty outside the hall gathered over, and even Huan Qing, the deputy general of Yulinwei, rushed over with a knife.
As soon as he saw the woman next to Xiangcheng, Huan Qing sighed in his heart, this woman is so calm, isn't she afraid of death? "Bold woman. You can know that those who trespass on the palace will be killed! ”
Huan Qing is threatening. There was a glint in Wanrou's eyes, she knew that Xiangcheng alone could not guarantee her to get close to the Ganlu Palace, but this Huan Qing was different. Deputy General Yu Linwei, the prestige in the hearts of the Yu Lin Wei soldiers is needless to say, I saw Wan Rou patting Xiangcheng's shoulder, and his body crossed behind Xiangcheng. Wanrou's speed is very fast, she has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and she will not let it go easily.
When Wanrou rushed over. The stunned on Huan Qing's face can be imagined, in the face of hundreds of Yu Lin Wei, there are still people who dare to rush up, then this person is either stupid, or looking for death. Conceited and brave, Huan Qing took the knife to pick it up, but he didn't know that Wan's gentle technique was quite sharp. The tip of her sword tapped the back of the knife, and then with a twist of her body, there was an extra dagger in her left hand, and almost in an instant, the dagger fell on Huan Qing's neck. The dagger was sharp, and with just a slight touch, blood flowed down the dagger. "Huan Qing, do you think your people care about you?"
Cold sweat flowed from Huan Qing's forehead, he was really frightened at this time, unwilling to do it, Huan Qing was not afraid of death. can't die like this, he Huan Qing is in the prime of life. How can you be willing to die in such an unknown way?
There was no need to say anything gently, the surrounding Yu Linwei hesitated, Huan Qing was the deputy general of Yu Linwei after all, except for Zhao Chong, who was the largest in Huan Qing. Wanrou wanted this hesitation, taking advantage of the Yulin Guard's soldiers' kung fu to throw a rat bogey, Wanrou had already dragged Huan Qing away for several feet.
There was such a big commotion outside the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin couldn't have not known it, just when Wanrou captured Huan Qing, Li Shimin walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall under the escort of several personal guards.
Although facing the assassin, Li Shimin was not panicked at all, how could a man who came out of the battlefield be afraid of an assassin. Li Shimin did not rush to give the order to shoot the assassin, because he wanted to know why the assassin had come to the Taiji Palace, and he felt that this woman was very familiar.
Stopped, looked at Li Shimin standing outside the hall gently, and had to say that Li Shimin was very imposing, "Giggles, my good second uncle, we haven't seen each other for so long, do you treat your niece like this?" ”
Wanrou's words were already obvious, and Li Shimin was secretly taken aback in his heart, it turned out to be her. Li Wanrou, who used to be such a lovely girl, has now become such a person.
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin waved his hand slowly, "Let Huan Qing go, even if you kill him, it won't be of much use to you!" ”
"Of course, I don't want to kill him, but the second uncle also has to give his niece some confidence, isn't it, is the second uncle afraid? If the second uncle is afraid, but please say it directly, Wanrou will never laugh! ”
The irony in Wanrou's tone couldn't be more obvious, Li Shimin was not stimulated by this, and the agitation method was useless to him for a long time. Frowning, Li Shimin still raised his hand and said, "Let's all stand down, without my will, no one is allowed to approach the Manna Hall for half a step!" ”
After Yu Linwei retreated, Li Shimin turned around and faced the Ganlu Palace, he said as he walked, "If you want to talk, let Huan Qing go, I will give you a pillar of incense time, if you don't come in, don't say that I won't give you a chance!" ”
Li Shimin entered the Ganlu Palace, Wanrou didn't think much about it, she directly pushed Huan Qing aside. Even if Li Shimin is a man, if he doesn't even have the courage to talk to her Li Wanrou, then Li Shimin, the emperor, will be too much of a failure.
The Ganlu Hall was quiet, and there was no noise outside the hall, at this time, thousands of forest guards had gathered around the Ganlu Palace, and they were all waiting for news from the palace, as long as Li Shimin said a word, they could kill Li Wanrou and the palace.
Huan Qing didn't care about the scars on his neck, his eyes were looking at the Ganlu Palace, how could Li Wanrou come to Taiji Palace, did she really not care about her life and death? There are so many things that I can't figure out, and all I can do now is wait.
Li Shimin didn't rush to speak, his eyes never left Wanrou, and he had to admit that Wanrou and Changle were really similar, and there were so many children in the royal family, only Changle, Wanrou and Wanshun had slightly raised foreheads. Li Shimin is not worried that Wanrou will burst out and kill, he believes that this niece will not be so stupid, not to mention that he Li Shimin will not be really stupid enough to face Li Wanrou alone, there are at least ten guards guarding this manna hall, as long as Wanrou dares to make a move, she will be shot into a hedgehog.
"Wanrou, it's been so many years, can't you still let it go?" In the end, it was Li Shimin who asked first, and his brows were deeply locked, as if he had a thousand sorrows.
Wanrou smiled softly. There was more of a disdain in that smile, "Put it down? Second uncle. Have you let it go again, if you can let it go, why do you care so much about your niece, and locked up Fang Jun, what kind of rebellion, hehe, aren't you afraid that he will have too close contact with me? ”
I have to admit that what Wanrou said is true, but Li Shimin still said with the same face. "Even if you're right, so what, hasn't it been like this since ancient times? You've always hated me, but have you ever thought about what would happen to me if it was your father who won? ”
"I don't dare say anything else. At least my father is more generous than you, and he will never kill his own sons and nephews like you! Wanrou kept sneering, she knew very well what her father was, because of his tolerance and kindness, because of his generosity. was trampled under the feet of this second uncle. Li Shimin is not a good person, but he is right in saying that he can't be too merciful in the royal family, because being too merciful is often cruel to himself.
Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, he clenched his fists. He said in a deep voice, "I let Wanshun survive. Shouldn't you thank me? ”
"Hmph, hypocrisy, why bother to say it, if you really care about Wanshun, why didn't you say anything when you learned that she was burned to death?"
Wanrou didn't want to talk about it anymore, those past things didn't matter, and she didn't come to Taiji Palace to quarrel. took off the cloth bag hanging from her waist, and threw it on the table casually, "Take a good look, this is the heirloom jade seal you have been thinking about for a long time." Now that the jade seal has been handed over to you, and my person has fallen into your hands, it's time to let Fang Jun come out! ”
Li Shimin didn't look at the contents of the cloth bag, he believed that it was all true, and by this time, Wanrou had no need to fake it anymore.
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin asked a little tiredly, "Wanrou, are you willing to die for Fang Jun, you must know that I will not allow rebellion to exist!" ”
Listening to Li Shimin's words, a trace of long-lost happiness appeared on Wanrou's face, and she raised her head and mocked, "Good second uncle, how can you understand?" If Fang Jun can die for me, why can't I die for him? There are some things that you can't understand. However, I have to say, you are not a good person, but your luck is quite good, you can actually meet a guy like Fang Jun, he can obviously stand taller, but he is willing to let you fiddle around. ”
Li Shimin was choked a lot, he couldn't understand Fang Yi's love and gentle feelings, but he couldn't say that she didn't understand anything. There are some things that he Li Shimin can see thoroughly, but as an emperor, even if he doesn't want to, he has to do it, because maintaining imperial power is a must.
"Wanrou, I really want to ask you, more than ten years have passed, is the hatred in your heart still so deep? Isn't it good that I, the emperor, have worked hard day and night for the Tang Dynasty, fighting against Tibet and conquering the Turks, and I have made the Tang Dynasty famous, including me, I am admired by all the people, isn't this enough? If your father succeeds him, will he be able to do better than me? ”
Li Shimin's expression was a little excited, he couldn't figure it out, how much effort he had made in order to be a Ming Jun, why didn't anyone understand him? Fang Jun felt wronged, Changle felt wronged, and Guanyin also felt wronged, but who cared about his Li Shimin's grievances. The emperor also has a heart, if there is a heart, there will be feelings, and if there is feelings, there will be joys, sorrows, hesitations and grievances. Other people can cry when they have grievances, they can find a shoulder to vent, but he, Li Shimin, can't do anything, he wants to maintain the dignity of an emperor, and he has to be a high-ranking person.
Wanrou didn't seem to listen to much, and when Li Shimin stopped, she smiled slowly, "Second uncle, do you know where you are most wrong?" Not everyone is staring at this throne, if you let my father go back then, why would I, Li Wanrou, spend all day with hatred. There is also Fang Jun, if he has a heart of disobedience, as early as the Yueshi he should occupy Khan Futu City and establish himself as the king, one thing you must admit, as long as Fang Jun occupies Khan Futu City and lets Zuo Wuwei defend Doma City, when the time comes, Malkang's party members will go north to echo, you will have no choice! ”
Li Shimin admits that what Wanrou said is true, and the situation may be worse, the throat of the west is choked, not only the trade route is blocked, but it is also very likely that all the unstable forces of the Tang Dynasty will respond, take the Lingnan Song family and the Shandong family as an example, who of these people has a real heart with the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin never thought that Fang Yiai could accumulate such a great influence in just a few years.
Looking at Wanrou's mocking eyes, Li Shimin sighed secretly in his heart, maybe it was time to make up his mind at this time, how many years can he Li Shimin live, the future Datang will remain in the hands of those young people after all. Fang Yiai is a rare genius, either use him or destroy him, but if he destroys him, who will open up territory for Datang? Li Shimin suddenly found that he couldn't find a better person than Fang Yiai, is the eldest grandson chong? It's not that he looks down on Changsun Chong, this Changsun Chong can be a writer, but he can't make a name for the Tang Dynasty.
"Wanrou, what do you want me to do to you, can't you just give me a chance?" Li Shimin's tone was pleading, and this was the first time in more than a decade that he had confronted a person in a pleading tone, and this person was still his niece.
Wanrou slowly closed her eyes, for some reason, her tears slowly flowed out, whether she was moved, sad or unwilling, who could say clearly? Turning around, Wanrou only left one sentence, "The opportunity is equal, what you give, I will pay!" ”
