- Wu Meiniang knew what Du He was asking, and whispered without any concealment: I asked people to do it. Chinese website"
Du He couldn't help but take a step back. Although he already knew everything, he still hoped to hear a word from Wu Meiniang that was not hers. Even if it was a lie, it would give him an excuse not to pursue the matter further.
It¡¯s not that Wu Meiniang can¡¯t lie, but she won¡¯t lie to the person she loves the most.
"Why?" Du He really couldn't accept it. He didn't care how Wu Meiniang dealt with Changsun Wuji, or what lowly methods she used. He knew that Wu Meiniang would do this, and it was all for him.
But Du He really couldn't accept Wu Meiniang's methods this time. He didn't care that Wu Meiniang was counting him in, but he couldn't care less. Wu Meiniang ignored the safety of the Tang Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops. Use their lives and deaths as a bet to bring down Changsun Wuji. Wu Meiniang betrayed the Tang army's intelligence, which was an act that pushed the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to the cliff.
Although the situation is not bad, there are no dire consequences. But if Pei Xingjian hadn't existed, if he hadn't been one step ahead of Songtsen Gampo, the Tang army would have paid an extremely heavy price.
Everything will be as Songtsen Gampo expected, all the grain transport troops will be wiped out, and the hundreds of thousands of troops he led will become a lone army without food, trapped on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Reaching that desperate point, even if the Tang army was brave, it would be difficult for them to recover. He, Du He, was lucky enough to be able to lead half of the Tang army back to the Tang Dynasty.
In the best case scenario, half of the Tang army would be buried in a foreign land, let alone in the worst case scenario.
Just like Xue Rengui's Battle of Dafeichuan, because of a problem in the rear of the army, the Tang army that had the advantage paid the price of annihilation.
Of course, this didn't happen, but Du He still couldn't let go. Because Wu Meiniang's original intention was to pay for the failure of the Tang army, the only thing that brought down Changsun Wuji was that things did not develop as she wanted.
It is conceivable that if the Tang army was really defeated and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers were buried in a foreign land, would Li Shimin be able to spare Changsun Wuji as easily as now?
impossible.
It was because of the appearance of Du He and Pei Xingjian that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty turned defeat into victory in the face of adversity when their intelligence was leaked. They overcame this difficulty and achieved the final victory, which indirectly destroyed Wu Meiniang's real plan and saved the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Wuji¡¯s life.
It¡¯s happened, it¡¯s not important anymore.
What worries Du He is Wu Meiniang¡¯s original intentions.
Du He asked himself if he was a saint and did not have the ability to save the world. But he has a clear conscience when doing things. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but his wife conspired to send his soldiers and subordinates to the tomb. Use their innocent lives as an opportunity to eliminate his powerful enemies.
How does this make him face Luo Tong and Fang Yiai, brothers who share life and death? How do he face the brave warriors who sacrificed their lives for him and shed their blood for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Du He? But in the current situation, he is in a dilemma between his dearest wife and his comrades who share life and death.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have let me be the source of everything against Changsun Wuji"
Du He couldn't blame Wu Meiniang, and chose to attribute all the faults to himself. If he hadn't taken a fancy to Wu Meiniang's ability and asked her to secretly form a force to deal with Changsun Wuji, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Recalling that the soldiers under his command were almost killed because of him, his heart felt like a knife twisting his head.
Tears rolled down Wu Meiniang's face. She was relieved to see Du He didn't blame her, but even more heartbroken, she smiled miserably and said: "I'm just a woman, I don't understand any big principles, let alone care about them. I just know this Du He The mansion is my home, Du Lang is my husband, everything to me. I want to protect all of this and not allow anyone to destroy it. Even if the enemy is the emperor, I have no fear, even if thousands or even millions of people die, I don't care that Changsun Wuji is in trouble for Du Lang. He is Du Lang's most powerful political opponent. His existence is too threatening. Even if Du Lang didn't give the order at the beginning, the results will still be the same. So, Du Lang is to blame. Mei Niang, it¡¯s Mei Niang who has a vicious heart. It¡¯s Mei Niang who hid Du Lang¡¯s secrets and set up a plan to sacrifice Du Lang¡¯s army to deal with Changsun Wuji.¡±
When Wu Meiniang said this, her teeth were clenched, but her face was full of determination. These words were spoken from the bottom of her heart. Even if she fell into a situation of eternal doom, she, Wu Meiniang, would have no regrets for the sake of this family.
Du He was moved, loving and pitiful. He remembered what happened to Wu Meiniang. If she hadn't been bullied at a young age and had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, how could she have such a biased character?
Seeing Wu Meiniang¡¯s pear blossoms in the rain, his heart softened, he stepped forward and hugged her gently, saying softly:He said: "Forget it, let him go in the past, and don't do this kind of thing in the future. This time it was luck, but next time maybe he won't be so lucky."
Du He is extremely lucky now. Fortunately, because of Pei Xingjian's existence, he had an extra thought to make the tragedy happen.
¡° If it¡¯s really as Wu Meiniang planned, then Du He really doesn¡¯t know what to choose.
Now that the tragedy has not happened, the guilt in Du He's heart has also reached a limit.
The boulder in Wu Meiniang's heart finally fell to the ground, she smiled and fainted in Du He's arms.
Since Du He came back, Wu Meiniang has been like a taut rubber band, frightened and trembling. She knew her husband and knew that Du He could forgive her for everything, but he could not forgive her for her cruel method of ignoring the lives of thousands of soldiers. She didn't know what to do next, and even had the stupid idea of ??simply dying if she was kicked out of the house. Now she finally felt at ease, unable to hold on anymore, and fainted in Du He's arms.
Du He was startled and hurriedly hugged her. Suddenly he found that Wu Meiniang was blushing, and the tears left two distinct marks on her face. A thin layer of rouge was applied, and the skin under the rouge was frighteningly pale.
Du He's heart tightened and he hurriedly ran out of the mansion and called the doctor himself.
Wu Meiniang was just frightened and weak. She was not seriously injured. As long as she had a good rest, she would be fine.
Du He looked at Wu Meiniang, whose face was as pale as snow, with only worry in his heart.
Du He never mentioned this matter again, but he could never forget it in his heart. He did not blame Wu Meiniang, he only felt that he felt sorry for the soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition. Just like a person who has done something wrong, this guilt will be hidden deep in his heart and will be remembered for a lifetime.
That evening, while Du He was chatting with Wu Meiniang, who had already woken up, he suddenly got a message from a servant. It was Changsun Wuji who asked him to come over to the house to talk.
Du He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He and Changsun Wuji had different political views, and they were even more on the same page because of Li Chengqian. Why would Changsun Wuji invite him inexplicably? Did he discover something and throw a Hongmen Banquet?
He glanced at Wu Meiniang with a guilty conscience. If Changsun Wuji really discovered something, then he could only drop everything to protect Wu Meiniang.
Compared to Du He's surprise, Wu Meiniang smiled lightly and said weakly: "It's time to come, Du Lang, go. It's time to resolve everything."
Du He asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Wu Meiniang said: "Du Lang doesn't know Changsun Wuji as well as I do. Changsun Wuji has the highest status and is the leader of civil and military affairs. But his biggest weakness is that he has no real power. He does not control the civil servants like Lord Fang and the father-in-law. Duke Wei, General Qin, and General Li Ji all have supreme prestige in the military. He is able to form his own faction in the court and is superior to civil and military officials only because of your majesty's trust and respect. Now your majesty is heartbroken. Ji lost his support, and he lost that strength. For the sake of the Changsun family, he rationally chose to stay away from the court. Now the only person from the Changsun family in the court is Changsun Quan, and he is the hope of revitalizing the Changsun family. But if Xianggong If you continue to be in trouble with the Changsun family, Changsun Quan will have a difficult time. If Mei Niang is not wrong, Changsun Wuji intends to show peace to the Prime Minister. "
Du He didn't believe it and said with a smile: "The old fox, Changsun, has the most evil intentions. He hides a knife in his smile and bows his head to me. Is that right?"
Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "A man is a man who can pick up and let go. If Changsun Wuji really can't pick up someone who can't let go, how can he be qualified to be an enemy of Xiang Mo?"
Du He thought the same thing. He had personally experienced how powerful Changsun Wuji was. He nodded and said, "Then does he have any chance to make a comeback?"
Wu Meiniang said: "At least it was impossible in the Zhenguan Dynasty. The lost trust cannot be easily restored. But who can be sure of what will happen in the future, but it is certain that within ten years, it will be difficult for him to turn around. After ten years, with With Xianggong's ability, even if he cannot succeed his father-in-law, he can still be called the number one general in the army. Who will he be afraid of at that time? Although the Changsun family no longer has Changsun Wuji, there is still Queen Changsun. Mei Niang thinks that Xianggong should choose reconciliation , this is more appropriate. Since Changsun Wuji has fallen, there is no point in continuing to be an enemy of the Changsun family."
Du He understood what Wu Meiniang meant, nodded, and took the invitation.
Du He is very knowledgeable about calligraphy and saw that the invitation letter was written by Changsun Wuji himself. Just like Wu Meiniang's, the invitation letter was written very enthusiastically and without any airs.
He accepted the invitation, stayed with Wu Meiniang for a while, and rushed to Changsun Wuji's mansion upon invitation.
The once glorious Guogong Mansion is now a bit desolate.
People leave with cool tea, brilliantno longer.
Du He felt a little emotional outside the Duke's Mansion, so he called the door and handed over the invitation.
When the homeboy who opened the door saw the invitation, he immediately became respectful and said: "Your Excellency, please come in.
Enter the living room and sit down. My lord has already given instructions. The Duke is here. There is no need to announce. Please come directly to the house to serve tea.
Du He nodded, and under the guidance of his old servant Ding, he strode into the long-lost Zhao Guogong Mansion - Didn't finish reading?
