In Chang'an, deep in the Daming Palace, in the study of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. Li Longji, who had not been to the study for several days, was sitting on his bench with a complicated expression, listening to a man in night clothes in front of him. The man in black reported something in a low voice, and Gao Lishi, who was serving beside him, also had a complicated expression. It seemed that what the man in black reported was very shocking to them.
The two of them remained silent until the man in black finished his report and retreated.
The eunuchs and maids standing quietly nearby did not dare to take a breath, for fear of irritating the two of them. In recent days, they had rarely seen these two men in the highest positions of the Tang Dynasty showing such solemn expressions. The expression on his face is clear. Anyone who can work around the emperor is not good at flattering the emperor and observing his actions. They knew that at this time, the sensible people could not disturb the two of them. When they needed it, they would naturally give orders.
After a moment of silence, Li Longji finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and slowly said: "What a God who has blessed the Tang Dynasty for a long time... Gao Weng, do you think it was wrong for me to force him like that before?"
Gao Lishi was startled when he heard this. Li Longji's words obviously contained a hint of regret. When he forced Ye Qingcheng to death before, he had no regrets at all. After all, Ye Sanlang's reputation among the people at that time was really The height was so high that Li Longji smelled a hint of danger. You must know that Li Longji was famous for his ruthlessness. He could even kill the three sons who were framed by Concubine Wu Hui. What can't such a person do? of? He has served Li Longji for so many years and is very familiar with his character. Therefore, when Ye Sanlang committed suicide in Yizhou before, he could only sigh with emotion. Now he can actually see Li Longji showing some regret. This It's really quite rare.
Even when he beheaded his three sons, he never had any regrets. He only felt that they coveted his throne and acted rashly, but now Ye Qingcheng did make him feel a little regretful.
This time Ye Qingcheng made two great achievements. Not only did he not accept the reward, but he left the Tang army. It was obviously because of him Li Longji, just like he was not in a hurry to accept the reward after making great achievements in the Sanggan River battle.
"Hey, the three tribes of Mobei obeyed, captured Yang Guang's descendants alive, and destroyed the Xing Sui Hui... These two achievements, no matter which one they are, are enough for him to be among those Jiedu deputy envoys. It's a pity that I didn't have it at the beginning. I saw that he was so talented. What's more, I was even more regretful that I didn't see his love for Datang. Gao Weng, I was wrong. Because of my momentary vigilance, Datang lost a capable person. A general who is famous throughout the ages, I made a mistake.”
Li Longji smiled bitterly and shook his head. Only after losing something, some people will think of the good things of others. Just like him at this moment, if he hadn't forced Ye Qingcheng to death when he was still Ye Sanlang, then the future of Datang would be There will be a general who can surpass the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but now when the news is reported to him, Ye Qingcheng has already left the Handuo Bali Tang Army camp for several days. Even if he wants to find a way There is no such chance to retain Ye Qingcheng.
Gao Lishi, on the other hand, was filled with sighs. He actually heard Li Longji admit that he was wrong, which was rare and rare. This shows that Li Longji really regrets at this moment, but there is no medicine for regret in this world. When the military system was destroyed and the princes and nobles began to annex land, Li Longji, as the instigator, also expressed regret, but what's the use of that? ? By the time all these problems within the Tang Dynasty broke out, he, Li Longji, had already left Hexi, so he did not worry about these problems at all and left them to his descendants. If this continues, the strength of the Tang Dynasty will be gone forever. return.
Although he knew these problems, he would not advise Li Longji, because he could see that if it was Li Longji when he just came to the throne, he might still be able to listen to his words, but if it is Li Longji now, it is difficult to .
Ye Qingcheng, it is indeed a pity...
…………
In early June of the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, more than a month after Ye Qingcheng left the Tang army, a group of people who looked like they were weather-beaten came walking on the ancient road near Fengxiang on Shannan Road. They looked like they were weather-beaten and not easy to mess with. look.
This group of five people was Ye Qingcheng's group who came all the way south from Mobei. The journey from Han'erduobali to Fengxiang actually took them a month. This was also because of Huan Chenyu's suggestion. It can be seen that both Bai Quan and Ye Qingcheng are still nostalgic for this mortal world. If they ride horses, it will only take 30% of the original journey to reach their current location, but in that case, it is estimated that Ye Qingcheng and Bai Quan will be even more excited. Reluctant to give up. To be honest, Huan Chenyu felt a little bit reluctant to give up. Although the past two years in this mortal world were just a passing moment compared to the thousands of years he spent on the top of Panlong Mountain, it was indeed very interesting. I'm afraid Baiquan is the same. The idea is that after they return to the world of cultivation, they will not be able to relax as much as they did in the mortal world.
That's why he wanted to give them some time to transform. If they still maintain this nostalgic mentality, it will be of no benefit to their cultivation.
Although they seemed to be getting along very well, he could tell.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng, who was walking and laughing with Gu Guang, suddenly stopped with a strange look on his face. Then, he took out a yellow token from his space storage ring. I saw that the token was flashing with yellow light, and it would flash once every breath.
When the others saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little confused, because they had never seen such a thing in Ye Qingcheng in their memories. It was normal that they had no impression, because this was in Yuanzhou when Ye Qingcheng was still Ye Sanlang. When I went to Heavenly Sword Master's Kingdom of God, I got an emergency order from the three religions and nine sects formed by low-level monks and people in the world. The person who holds this token has a very high status in the three religions and nine liu of the Central Plains. Ye Qingcheng's token was originally given to him by those guys on their own initiative. At that time, he was still very weak, considering that he might use it. Because of the power of these people, I accepted it, but I didn’t expect that there would be any reaction after such a long time. He almost forgot that there was such a thing. There were too many things in his ring, and he didn't organize them very much on weekdays, so he had long forgotten many irrelevant things.
