The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi could not wait for the saint's reply for a long time, but time did not allow them to delay any longer.

Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi had no choice but to set off. After discussing with Fang Yiai, Chen Muzhi and Fang Yiai took the first step. At this time, it was time to make a decision to capture Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

On the way back, there were also Goguryeo's envoys and followers, but the Goguryeo crown prince did not follow up this time. Instead, the candidate who represented the Goguryeo prince as a proton turned out to be a bastard of the Goguryeo king, a very inconspicuous bastard.

Although he was dressed luxuriously and pretended to be arrogant and pampered, after observing the details, Fang Yiai had already determined that the other party was one of the methods used to paralyze the Tang Dynasty, or it could be said that this bastard was an abandoned son who was completely abandoned by the King of Goguryeo. .

Seeing the unconcealable anxiety in his eyes, hum.

Fang Yiai looked at the road ahead, feeling very irritable and impatient with the attendants of Goguryeo. If he hadn't easily exposed his thoughts, he would have left them long ago and returned to the camp with Chen Muzhi.

When they were about to arrive at the military camp where Datang set up camp, a message came from a flying pigeon.

It was Chen Muzhi's few words - "It's not good, come back quickly".

At this moment, Fang Yiai no longer had any scruples, left everyone behind, and galloped away.

But when he returned to the camp, what he saw surprised him, and he knew that the uneasiness he felt in his heart had come true.

At this time, the Datang military camp was in full swing, and the excitement was not for the next siege and war, but for the appearance of leaving the camp and returning to the court.

It's not that Fang Yiai has never led an army before. He frowned, believing in his own judgment in his heart, but to be cautious, he asked a sergeant carefully before meeting the emperor. Sure enough, the army was packing its bags, and only some The generals stayed behind, and the large troops returned to the court in batches.

Fang Yiai's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes flickered with cold shadows, and waves of cold flames that wanted to erupt but were suppressed rolled over his body.

After Fang Yiai walked into the tent of the Chinese army where the emperor Li Shimin was, she looked at the "everyone" in the tent talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and seeing him enter the tent, everyone reacted differently.

In particular, this group of people also has "foreign friends"-His Royal Highness the crown prince of Goguryeo.

The other party looked over, although she was still kind and humble, but Fang Yiai did not miss the triumphant look in it.

What are you proud of?

——Fang Yiai's eyes fell on the emperor and His Royal Highness King Wei next to him.

Li Shimin is a monarch and has always been unpredictable, but Li Tai's cultivation is not in place, and the malice towards him can be seen in a flash on his face, which is mixed with the same color as the Goguryeo prince.

...a raccoon dog.

He should have expected it.

... It was his miscalculation.

……

He didn't expect King Wei to be so shameless!As the prince of the Tang Empire, he can betray the interests of the country!

Heh, maybe he did this just to plot against him, or plot against Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

What is the purpose of King Wei? It is definitely not simply to anger him, or that King Wei Li Tai has some shady schemes in it.

Although Fang Yiai didn't think Wei Wang was smart, the other party was obviously not a fool either.

After Fang Yiai listened to His Majesty's order without saying a word, even after there were criticisms, Fang Yiai did not say a word, and after silently saluting, she left the account.

He really didn't expect that Li Tai's methods were so powerful that he had colluded with the Crown Prince of Goguryeo long ago, and he could still convince the emperor.

In other words, it wasn't that Li Shimin was stupid, but that he had some scruples.

Fang Yiai didn't know what to do now, and soon after he came out, he "met" Chen Muzhi.

The other party's expression was calm, and the eyes were bright and dim under the torches of the tent. Fang Yiai couldn't tell what Chen Muzhi was thinking, but just heard him say: "The saint has received many letters from Chang'an recently..."

Yeah, it all makes sense.

The emperor was worried about the prince, so he could even give up the great cause of the Eastern Expedition, or he didn't give up when the emperor was serious. This is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Goguryeo's cession of land, indemnity and surrender, satisfied the vanity and interests of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and the little that remained was not as good as his "worries" about the prince.

Although Li Shimin was not in the right position, he was originally a holy master with great talent and broad-mindedness.

But, he is old!

old!

So, what is he worried about - what is the healthy and youthful Prince Li Chengqian who seems to be rising up now.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Palace became more and more stable. His Majesty the Crown Prince did a great job in what the Emperor told him before the Eastern Expedition. Some courtiers praised him, whether it was out of his own heart or to please... This touched the emperor's natural sensitivity. heart of rights.

Under Chen Muzhi's reminder, Fang Yiai thought about it for a while, and understood the emperor's thought game and his final choice.

It was precisely because of the clarity that he felt powerless at this moment.

……

"What's the matter with King Wei?" After a long time, Fang Yiai asked in a hoarse voice.

"I have a traitor under my command... In fact, I can't call it a traitor. From the beginning to the end, there are always people who only listen to saints." A sneer flashed across Chen Muzhi's face, but it was so fast that he couldn't be caught easily.

Fang Yiai did not miss it, but he was puzzled, since he listened to the saint, why did King Wei——

"Hehe..." Chen Muzhi raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Fang Yiai, "Fang Yiai, you may have underestimated King Wei. His Highness has been doing things one after another, or gathered around King Wei. Not all counselors are mediocre..."

Listening to Chen Muzhi's brief narration, Fang Yiai finally understood why the matter had developed to the present situation.

Li Tai just did what he wanted to do. He also framed him and Chen Muzhi as false evidence, framing Goguryeo's determination to surrender, and he also contacted the crown prince of Goguryeo. Come to vote, and bluntly say that you will be the proton of Datang.

While Goguryeo sent concubines to paralyze Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi, secretly the prince of Goguryeo came to the Tang military camp. King Wei met the prince by chance, and the introduction went smoothly. Cleverly told Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi of their "wrong intentions", and framed the sincerity of their Goguryeo monarchs and ministers.

The combination of various factors, coupled with Goguryeo's humble and unconditional surrender, made Li Shimin tempted.

All of this is Li Tai's plan, he is planning the saint's worried and suspicious heart towards His Royal Highness, who is far away in Chang'an City and holds great power.

"Your Majesty hasn't made a complete decision, but—" Chen Muzhi didn't hide his sarcasm when he said this, he looked at Fang Yi'ai, and said slowly: "It's just that the person under me was called by the sage. The fact that we 'framed' Goguryeo's surrender confirmed the 'correctness' of Gao Guoli's sincere surrender, and the king of Wei, Lord Changsun and many other ministers also agreed."

"What about the other generals?" Fang Yiai asked, then immediately shook her head, "Forget it, you don't need to talk about it. I can predict their attitude."

He knew what Li Ji, the general in charge of the army this time, was. He was the kind of person who loved to protect himself and watch fire from the other side. He had a very different temperament from his grandson Li Jingye.Li Ji has always been cautious.

As for Li Jing, he returned to the court long ago. After all, Li Jing's health is not good. After reading the letters, it can be seen that the emperor fell in love with him very much. Li Jing himself should not bother him. , nor can the dead be alive.

Xue Rengui and other young generals who made good friends with him wanted to show their skills on the battlefield and earn military merits, but their qualifications were shallow and they had no place to speak at all.

As for Xue Wanche, he is still at sea.

In fact, Lao Xue is also a slippery head.

……

Fang Yiai didn't want to stay longer with the Emperor's Army. After enjoying the cool breeze outside, he still went to see his father Fang Xuanling before going to bed.

At this time, Fang Xuanling had already dealt with everything, and came back to eat supper in the tent.

It was said to be a supper, but it was actually a dinner that I hadn't eaten before.

After all, the food rewarded in front of the sage, the courtiers just ate casually, and they seldom got enough to eat. What's more, there were a lot of things today, and the emperor was still blaming Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi before. Although Fang Yiai was not severely punished in public, but The anger inside and outside the words is still revealed.

After all, if it is true what Chen Muzhi said, the "false evidence" he and Chen Muzhi made would be suspected of deceiving the emperor, which is a great disrespect.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't know it was out of some kind of thought, or he knew in his heart that the Eastern Expedition to destroy Goguryeo was the most correct way, but he couldn't choose to do it, out of inexplicable thoughts or emotions, or because he had always Fang Xuanling, who fit his heart, did not tell the "truth" in front of the ministers and generals, otherwise Fang Yiai and Chen Muzhi would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor that cannot be lightly forgiven. .

Fang Xuanling knew the truth of the matter, he was so frightened that his face turned pale all night, and he felt guilty towards the emperor.

Fang Yiai had already seen the blue color on his father's forehead, it was from kowtow.

When the Tang Dynasty saw the emperor, he didn't always salute him, let alone at this time in the military camp where he didn't pay much attention to understanding.

Fang Yi's heart was filled with guilt, and he heard Fang Xuanling's sigh.

After Fang Xuanling said something to educate him, she didn't nag him harshly any more. Instead, before Fang Yiai left, she hesitated to speak, and finally asked him to visit Du He.

Fang Yiai looked puzzled.

"What happened to Doo?"

What answered him was Fang Xuanling's lamentation again.

Fang Yiai went to Du He with doubts. He originally thought that Du He was not with the emperor. If he was, Du He would have greeted him when he returned to the camp.

Things were too chaotic before, completely beyond his expectation, so Fang Yiai didn't pay attention to this point, he always thought that Du He and Xue Wanche were still at the garrison camp they led.

Following Fang Xuanling's clerk, the other party also looked sympathetic, Fang Yiai didn't ask any more questions.

He already felt bad in his heart.

What happened to Du He? !

Or got into trouble?Beaten to death by the emperor? !

Fang Yiai thought about dozens of Du He's "disasters", but she didn't expect Du He to be so miserable.

——Lying on the bed, that scarred man, covered in gauze and soaked in dry red blood, who is it?

Is it Duho?

Is it his good brother?

……

Fang Yiai rubbed his eyes, his chest was sore, he rushed over suddenly, lowered his head to look carefully at Du He's face——

What a face it was.

Herbal medicine was applied to the mutilated half of the face, but Fang Yiai could see that the wound was blatant.

Du He's mouth seemed to be bitten open by some beast, and it was irreparably disfigured.

Not to mention the body.

Fang Yiai glanced at it, but didn't dare to take a second look.

He had already forgotten all the medical skills he had acquired from memory.

With eyes full of eyes, what Fang Yiai saw was a tragic scene that made him sad.

Du He, he is his bad friend!

Bad friends are also good friends.

Fang Yiai was dumbfounded.

Only the unknowing tears left in the corner of his eyes proved that his thoughts were still there, but he didn't realize he was crying at all.

At this moment, Chen Muzhi came in and looked at him silently.

Fang Yiai remained motionless, and the clerk who led the way had already withdrawn from the tent for fear of being implicated by Fang Yiai's anger.

At this time, apart from Du He, who was lying on the bed and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, there were only Chen Muzhi and Fang Yiai in the tent.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Muzhi suddenly called out, "Fang Yiai."

Fang Yiai raised her eyes and stared at him, with sadness and rising anger in her dark pupils.

"You already knew? Why didn't you tell me before?... What happened to Du He? Who did it?!"

Fang Yiai seemed to have reacted at this moment, as if monstrous flames were burning all over her body, she was full of anger and hatred.

He stared at Chen Muzhi with red eyes.

Chen Muzhi said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Xiangyang was already like this when I came back. It is said... that Tang Mushi was bitten by wild wolves."

"..." Fang Yiai lowered his head, and looked at Du He, who was covered in injuries all over. He even opened one of Du He's wounds, and took a closer look.

The ultimate calm.

Extremely scary.

After a long silence, Fang Yiai sneered in a low voice: "Wild wolves?! Hehe...there are wild wolves near the barracks, hehe."

"...Hehe...hehe, what a wild wolf. What a rumor!"

Chen Muzhi stopped talking.

His indifferent face was still so gloomy, but there was a fleeting sympathy or pity for Fang Yiai in his eyes.

Fang Yiai didn't notice, or she didn't care about others.

He sat alone next to Du He all night.
