Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

This is the old house where Li Qiu and Wang Zhong's master and servant once lived.

Although it has long been uninhabited.

But there is still someone who comes to clean it every day.

The furnishings and appearance inside are still the same as usual.

Sometimes, even when Li Qiu is free, he would come here for a walk.

After all, here, there are many warm and beautiful memories of Wang Zhong, Wu Jue, and Saint Maiden Fruit.

Besides Li Qiu, the only guests in this old house were Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Feng Li and others.

From the very beginning when they met Li Qiu, they formed an indissoluble bond with this old house.

At first they took refuge here.

Then he was arrested here.

After that, there were too many times where they talked and sang happily.

The few of them also like the quietness and tranquility here very much.

Especially the top quality wine and food delivered by Xiaoguan.

But here today, there are more Ma Zhou than usual.

At the same time, the expressions on everyone's faces, as well as the atmosphere in the venue, were also extremely depressing.

At this time, Ma Zhou frowned and sighed softly: "Master Wang, do you really want to leave for Tongzhou?"

"With your aspect, do you just withdraw it?!"

Listening to Ma Zhou's words, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, and Feng Li also frowned even more tightly.

Especially Wei Zheng, he sighed anxiously twice.

"no!"

"Before His Majesty left, he handed over the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the Great Tang Dynasty, to our courtiers."

"If we let the prince continue like this, we will go all the way."

"How can you be worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

"I'll go to the East Palace right now and ask the prince to distinguish right from wrong."

Listening to his words, Wang Gui looked at him very seriously.

"Xuan Cheng."

"I'm older than you, and I may see some things more comprehensively than you."

"If this is a wise king like His Majesty."

"For the people wholeheartedly, seek a good way to govern the country."

"Your ability, uprightness, is the most powerful helper by His Majesty's side."

"The greatest blessing in the world."

"But if it's not a wise king like His Majesty."

"If you continue to disregard and remonstrate with Yan Yan, I'm afraid the situation will become completely different."

"It's very possible to even lose your property and life."

"Now, the Eastern Palace has issued an imperial edict."

"I heard that Changsun Wuji has already been to the East Palace this morning."

"When he left, his face was full of anger."

"It's clear that I want to persuade the prince to take back his order but to no avail."

"In this case, the prince's mind has been made up."

"Anyway, the prince who supervises the government is the king."

"No matter how high our position is, we are still ministers."

"As His Majesty's important ministers in the court, is it possible that we still openly defy the crown prince?"

"So the more it is at this time, the less suitable it is for me to procrastinate."

"Leave Chang'an as soon as possible and go back to your life."

"You don't have to worry about me either."

"With the current situation, I think His Majesty will not be able to stay in Xianling for long."

"I will return to Chang'an soon."

"At that time, I believe His Majesty will not forget me."

Listening to his words, Wei Ting couldn't help but said worriedly: "We don't worry about you."

"I don't even worry that His Majesty will not rectify your name when he comes back."

"It's just that in the past two years, your body is obviously not as good as before."

"All kinds of old diseases are becoming more and more serious."

"If there is an imperial doctor in Chang'an City, Sun Simiao will help you recuperate."

"But that same state is located in a remote place."

"It's windy and rough, and the carriage is bumpy along the way."

"With your current situation, how can you bear it?"

"In my opinion, you might as well follow Feng Li's example."

"It's a big deal to hand over the aspect, saying that you are sick and bedridden..."

"If you don't want to be the governor of the same state."

"In our whole life, we have been ministers of extreme people, and we have also been prisoners."

"Is there anything else you can't see."

At this time, Feng Li couldn't stop persuading him.

"Wei Ting is right. Mr. Wang, you have such a strong body and age."

"Especially the roads in the same state, which are mostly mountainous."

"It's definitely not comparable to Chang'an."

"You still don't want to go."

Listening to what they said, Wang Gui also sighed and nodded.

"I am very grateful for your kindness."

"However, back then I was imprisoned under the rank, and was promoted to the position of prime minister by His Majesty regardless of previous suspicions."

"So far, it has been several years."

"At this moment, I can pretend to be sick at home and refuse the prince's transfer order."

"However, as an important minister in the court, he openly took the lead in opposing the prince."

"This is an extremely bad thing for the entire Tang Dynasty."

"I can't be ashamed of Your Majesty's Ron, setting this precedent."

"So this is the same state, I must go."

Chapter 904 Farewell

It's just that after I left, I was worried about many things in Chang'an City. "

After speaking, he first looked at Wei Ting and Feng Li.

"Wei Ting, Feng Li."

"Both of you have been suppressed by now."

"One was dismissed as the servant of the Huangmen and transferred to the Lengyamen."

"One simply resigned from all official positions."

"But the current situation will never last."

"Be patient and don't be impulsive."

"I believe that when His Majesty returns from Xianling, there will be an explanation for everything."

After saying this, he looked at Ma Zhou again.

Sighing deeply, he frowned and said, "If you say that the thing I'm most worried about is Furong Garden."

"Right now Li Qiu is leading the army outside."

"After all this."

"Li Qiu and you, Furong Garden, have reached a point where the crown prince and the East Palace are almost incompatible."

"You turn around and immediately arrange reliable people to go to Hezhou."

"Go and tell Li Qiu, before His Majesty returns to Chang'an, no matter what he thinks of."

"No matter where he is going, he must never return to Chang'an."

"The general is outside, and the king's life can still be tolerated."

"But once he returned to Chang'an and faced the prince directly, he was too passive."

"If things go on like this, big troubles will easily occur."

"At the same time, I heard that girl Kexin is about to give birth again?"

"At times like this, don't be careless, Ma Zhou, you must take care of the affairs in the Lotus Garden!"

Hearing this, Ma Zhou also nodded solemnly.

"Lord Wang, don't worry."

"Since the day the prince led the army to go out, I and the whole Furong Garden have been on strict precautions."

"According to Mr. Fang's entrustment, both Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion also took good care of my Furong Garden."

"It's hard for some idlers to get close."

"Princess Pingyang even goes to sit in the Furong Garden almost every day."

"It's just that I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen."

"But if this situation continues to deteriorate, all these efforts will be in vain."

"Now that the prince and Princess Yunzhong are not here, I really have no idea in my heart."

Listening to the deep meaning in Ma Zhou's words, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, and Feng Li all frowned.

As for Wang Gui, he paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "From the perspective of Furong Garden, Ma Zhou, your worries are not completely unreasonable."

"However, in my estimation, that day will never come."

"Your Majesty won't just watch the newly settled Datang become turbulent again, won't he?"

"Of course, once the worst actually happens."

"Then no matter what the cost is, we must first send Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, the child to a safe place."

After saying all this, Wang Gui looked at Wei Zheng very solemnly.

"Xuancheng, these years since the Xuanwu Sect was established."

"I also deeply appreciate His Majesty's respect and kindness."

"It's like we are criminals, and we don't have any personal things to think about."

"That's why I think about doing my duty wholeheartedly and assisting His Majesty in governing the Tang Dynasty well."

"However, for you, Wei Ting, Feng Li, Li Qiu, we all live and die together, friends in need."
