Today's meeting has caused a huge change in Xiao Yu's view of Li Chengqian. Until now, because Li Chengqian almost obeyed Fang Jun, a humiliating minister, and never refuted, everyone regarded him as a weak and cowardly person without any opinion.
He is resistant to his future succession to the throne.
After all, there is an emperor and courtiers. Those with vested interests want to maintain power after the new emperor takes the throne. Those who have not been able to join the center hope to further cater to the new emperor. Who wants to see that the new emperor has not yet succeeded, so he has already booked a powerful minister who can dominate the sky.
situation?
However, it now seems that it is not that Li Chengqian really has no independent opinions and obeys Fang Jun in everything, but that Fang Jun is indeed too good. He agrees with the prince on everything and has unlimited reliance and trust from the prince.
And this trust is something that every minister urgently needs, and it means unparalleled power and benefits.
So Xiao Yu said sternly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will definitely run around in all directions to prevent Your Highness from putting himself in danger and making a desperate move!"
He didn't believe that the current Guanlong clan really dared to imitate the actions of the past and abolish the establishment. He was just a prince, and there was His Majesty Li Er above him. Who dared to risk the disapproval of the world?
As long as the planning is done properly, it may not be possible to overwhelm the Guanlongmen clan and willingly plead guilty, thus eliminating this huge turmoil.
If that's the case, he has made a great contribution in front of the prince!
You need to know that the prince plans to fight to the death with the Guanlong clan, and even die together! As long as he solves the case satisfactorily, it will be equivalent to saving the lives of more than a thousand people in the East Palace...
It is not an exaggeration to say "the grace of reinvention".
Li Chengqian nodded happily: "Song Guogong is the pillar of the country. You are always doing things, so I can rest assured. Today's crisis is the only one I have seen in my life, and the dangers in it are unheard of. I hope Song Guogong will put the state affairs first and the country first and help.
Solve these problems alone and stabilize the country."
He naturally knew that because of his favor and trust in Fang Jun, many ministers felt that it was impossible to replace Fang Jun's position and become close ministers of the prince, so they were prejudiced and alienated. But once there was an opportunity to make great achievements, they might be able to rival or even surpass Fang Jun.
Jun will definitely try his best to replace the crown prince's achievements.
After all, it is human nature to pursue profit, but it is the best principle in the world to measure whether efforts and gains are equal.
As long as some people see the possibility of receiving excessive returns for their efforts, they will naturally ignore the difficulties and flock to them...
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to your Highness's trust!"
…
After Xiao Yu left, Li Chengqian sat alone behind the desk, sipping tea and looking at the scenery of ice sculptures and jade outside the window. His thoughts were so fast that he completely forgot about the current crisis and was more concerned about the war in the Western Regions.
The most important thing was naturally the shock that Fang Jun achieved again and again.
When they set out from Guanzhong to suppress Hexi, everyone believed that Fang Jun led the Youtun Guards to "live towards death". For the dignity of the empire and the safety of Guanzhong, he sacrificed his life for righteousness, regarded death as home, and did it knowingly that he could not do it. It was not just the imperial court.
Officials, lords, and even the common people admired Fang Jun's decision and shed tears one after another, because everyone thought that the news of Youtun Wei's defeat would come at some time, and that Fang Jun would even be wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield.
above...
However, not long after, reports of the great victory in Hexi came, and the entire city of Chang'an burst into cheers.
Winning a complete victory in an impossible place caused everyone in Chang'an to praise Fang Jun as the "God of War", pushing his reputation to an unprecedented peak.
Even so, when he had a vague sense that the Guanlong clan had evil intentions and was ready to take action, Li Chengqian was extremely worried about the safety of Fang Jun's western expedition.
No matter how strong the enemy is, even if he is defeated with open swords and spears, he can always move, dodge, and strategize. But the strongest enemy is lurking behind him. He doesn't know when or where he will suddenly stab him in the back. This is the most fatal thing.
But who would have thought that with a simple strategy of "driving away tigers and swallowing wolves", all the Turks and Arabs who had sneaked into the hinterland of the Western Regions would be wiped out, and the hidden dangers in the rear of the Anxi Army would be completely cleared, and the supply line from Chang'an to Gongyue City would be completely unblocked.
…
What is particularly important is the severe blow to the influence cultivated by the Guanlong clan in the Western Regions, so that they can no longer act as arbitrarily as before. They regard the Silk Road and even the entire Western Regions as the fiefdom of Guanlong and wantonly seize what belongs to the country.
Benefit.
It is conceivable that once word of this victory spreads in Chang'an City, it will be even more shocking than the previous victory in Fanhexi!
I am afraid that Fang Jun's role as "Military God" has become more and more solid, and countless people have praised him. Together with this, his position as the crown prince will naturally become more stable...
Follow the public account: read article base, follow and get cash and coins!
Li Chengqian is familiar with history books and knows that if he wants to do great things, he must have the support of famous officials to succeed. No matter how wise and powerful a person is, without the assistance of outstanding people, it will be difficult to achieve great things.
Perhaps, Fang Jun is really the minister of the humerus sent by God to assist him in his great achievements?
Thinking about it carefully, since Fang Jun rose to prominence and even got close to the East Palace, his situation seems to have gotten better day by day. Not only has he escaped from the precarious and fearful state in the past, but every time he encounters danger, he can get Fang Jun's support.
Help each other to turn danger into safety.
If it is not destiny, there is really no way to explain it...
*****
Just as Li Chengqian thought, the results of the Battle of Alagou broke out shortly after they arrived at the palace, as the list of meritorious men was sent to the Ministry of War to plead for mercy and merit.
First, the cannibals invaded the Western Region with their powerful troops, and the Anxi Army was defeated steadily. Seeing that most of the Western Region fell into the hands of the barbarians, the Silk Road was cut off. Later, Tuyuhun's strange troops raided and tried to seize Hexi and pointed their swords at Guanzhong, causing the country to be shaken.
The situation in the DPRK is unstable, and this year has been full of disasters.
However, just when the empire was in danger, Fang Jun stepped forward. First, he defeated the Tuyuhun cavalry in a great battle, annihilating the elites they had gathered for twenty years, and now he swept across the Western Regions, killing Turks and Arabs.
The army that had sneaked into the heart of the Western Regions was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the road from Chang'an to the Western Regions was completely unblocked.
It is said that "good generals are remembered in times of national calamity, and heroes emerge in troubled times." Fang Jun's dazzling performance like a comet in such critical moments is not exactly the demeanor that "good generals" and "heroes" should have?
Suddenly, the whole city was shaken, and morale inside and outside Chang'an was greatly boosted.
For the people, nothing is more important than a stable life. Seeing that the prosperous age has arrived, the world lives and works in peace and contentment, and everything is prosperous, who would be willing to keep fighting and turbulent all day long? You can imagine how happy the people are.
.
However, if some people are happy, others will naturally be sad.
Those who were waiting for the Youtun Guards to fall into the sand in order to cut off the prince's arm were disappointed one after another, and it was inevitable that they would feel sad and weak in their hearts.
Is it possible that the prince is really his destiny?
Otherwise, why did it happen that there were signs of being deposed three or five years ago, but then it gradually became prosperous and lucky in a few years?
"Destiny" has always been the most revered word in Chinese culture.
Once anything is attached to the "Destiny", it is the will of God. Even if the world struggles in all kinds of ways, it cannot be changed. If anyone disobeys the destiny and goes against heaven, it will naturally lead to self-destruction.
As a result, Li Chengqian's momentum suddenly increased. Many officials in the court, princes, and relatives began to think about how to comply with the destiny and get close to the prince, so that they could seize more benefits when the new king takes the throne in the future.
As the saying goes, "Although Zhou's virtue has declined, the destiny of heaven has not changed, and the importance of the tripod cannot be questioned"...
With a general like Fang Jun who is blessed by God and assists him, doesn't it mean that the prince's destiny is unshakable?
…
In the palace of Prince Jin, Li Zhi, dressed in regular clothes, looked at Changsun Yan who was kneeling in the hall and crying bitterly, holding a tea cup in his hand, his face expressionless and silent.
Changsun Yan cried bitterly: "This matter is all my fault. I was instigated by the Hou Mo Chen family, Yuwen family and others, so I made such a treasonous and unethical move. I deserve death. However, my original intention was to kill him."
Fang Jun, please clear up the major obstacles for His Highness to be crowned Crown Prince. I have absolutely no intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason. I hope Your Highness will learn from it!"
When Fang Jun's battle report arrived in Chang'an, the eldest son's family in Jiaohe City sent a secret letter to the government at the same time, describing in detail what happened in Jiaohe City, as well as the death of eldest sun Mingzhi, the capture of eldest sun Hanzhi, and more about this.
The details of the battle will be told.
Changsun Yan immediately panicked...
His father was in Liaodong. After the death of Changsun Jun, Changsun Yan took care of all the affairs of the family. The events in the Western Regions were all planned by him. Now with such consequences, how could he not panic?
