Cen Wenwen was very disdainful of Xiao Yu's desire for power in such a critical moment and ignored it at first. However, if Xiao Yu can come to test him today, he can win over others tomorrow, and someone will eventually stand up to power.
Loss of judgment led to cracks in the monolithic Donggong camp.
After slowly taking a sip of tea, Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "Contribution and glory, power and wealth are all that people want. You and I are no exception."
These words were somewhat straightforward. Although they were true, Xiao Yu sounded a bit harsh. Just as he was about to refute, he was interrupted by Cen Wenwen: "But Shi Wen, you should also understand that there are people in this world who are flattering and flattering.
He has a high position even though he has a small amount of merit, but is Fang Jun that kind of person?"
Xiao Yu was silent.
Cen Wenwen continued: "Guan Long suddenly raised troops with evil intentions. His troops instantly covered Guanzhong, and Chang'an was surrounded by people inside and outside. His Royal Highness had to retreat to Taiji Palace. The situation was precarious, and the overthrow could only happen in a matter of seconds. However, today, Guan
The Long rebels have been besieging the imperial city for more than two months, and all the states and counties in the world are waiting and watching, refusing to reinforce a single soldier. Under such a critical situation, the imperial city is still impregnable. Shi Wen, what do you think is the reason?"
Xiao Yu continued to be silent. Although he had never led an army, he had read a lot of military books in his life and had a deep understanding of military affairs. He naturally understood the key to the situation where the Guanlong rebels were surrounded and unable to break through.
Although Cen Wenwen was asking a question, he did not wait for Xiao Yu's answer. He said to himself: "The reason for the current stalemate is that Guan Long did not dare to fight hard. An explosion in the foundry bureau killed more than ten thousand Guan Long elites.
They were wiped out in ashes, which not only damaged the main force, but also suffered a huge blow to their morale. The right guard outside Xuanwu Gate was guarded by one man and ten thousand people could not get rid of it. First, Chai Zhewei had evil intentions, and then the eldest grandson Wen was ambitious, but he was repeatedly defeated by the right guard.
After being defeated, now the Xuanwu Gate, the weak point of the Taiji Palace, has become as solid as a rock. Even Changsun Wuji is looking forward to it and sighing, saying nothing."
This is the reason why Guan Long did not dare to attack the imperial city with all his strength. Once the all-out attack failed, the Youtun Guards might be able to take advantage of the situation, which would lead to a sudden reversal of the good situation.
Xiao Yu understood what Cen Wenwen meant, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: "One more thing is Changsun Wuji's scruples about Fang Jun. Although Fang Jun is in the Western Regions, fighting endlessly against the cannibals, what if Fang Jun doesn't care?
Even if the Western Region falls, he will still have to lead troops to help Chang'an. With the half of his army, he can defeat tens of thousands of Tuyuhun's elite cavalry, annihilate Dashi, the Youtun Guards of the Turkic Allied Forces, plus the elite Anxi Army and Guanlong Army.
There is absolutely no chance of winning. Although His Highness, Shu Fang Jun, is not allowed to rush to help Chang'an, but who knows what Fang Jun thinks? Changsun Wuji doesn't dare to gamble."
Whether it was killing more than 10,000 Guanlong elites in the foundry bureau, whether it was the Youtun Guards guarding the Xuanwu Gate with impregnable strength, or even directly restraining Changsun Wuji so that he did not dare to use all his strength to attack the imperial city... Each of these things, Fang Fang stood behind them.
hansome.
It can be said that although Fang Jun is not in Chang'an, he still controls the battle situation in Chang'an like a needle that fixes the sea.
Under such circumstances, once the East Palace turns defeat into victory, who can compete with Fang Jun except Fang Jun?
Cen Wenwen said slowly: "I want power, wealth, and honor, but the overall situation should be our top priority. Even if the children of each family are dissatisfied, they should be enlightened. Those who are stubborn should be punished or expelled!
At this critical moment when things are about to be overturned and destroyed, if there are mutual dissatisfaction within the East Palace, how can we talk about turning defeat into victory? When the big ship of the East Palace is silent, even if you and I are safe, the children of the clan will not be able to make a difference in thirty years."
He simply couldn't believe it. How could a master of strategy like Xiao Yu, who had been in the court all his life, have such thoughts at this time? The reason why the East Palace is struggling to support itself now depends on Fang Jun's arrangements and checks and balances from both inside and outside.
If time breaks up with it, who can get away with it?
Furthermore, the Xiao family of Lanling and Fang Jun are related by marriage. Although the daughter of the Xiao family married into the Fang family as a concubine, her wife was Princess Gaoyang, so she was not wronged. Besides, I heard that Fang Jun was unhappy with that.
The daughter of the Xiao family was very favored, and her status was only slightly lower than Princess Gaoyang, not lower than Wu Meiniang, and even slightly higher than the Princess of Silla.
Fang Jun has established special honors and will become a powerful figure in the court and hold military and political power in the future. This will only benefit the Xiao family and not bring any harm. Is it possible that you, Xiao Yu, are now 80 years old and still want to further dominate the world?
If you talk about supporting the children of the clan, it is even more unreasonable. What kind of virtues are those crooked melons and split dates of your Xiao family? You have no idea in your heart? To put it bluntly, my Cen Changqian alone is enough to surpass the Xiao family.
All the children...
It's really baffling.
Xiao Yu looked a little embarrassed. Although Cen Wenwen spoke slowly and politely, he must have wanted to point his nose at him and curse: Are you, Xiao Yu, an old fool?
This made Xiao Yu very helpless. How could he not know that Fang Jun's status was already unshakable, let alone unshakable?
However……
Forget it, among the subordinates of the East Palace, only Cen Wenwen can win over. The others, such as Li Daozong, Ma Zhou, Li Jing and others, all have a deep bond with Fang Jun and will never part ways with him. If he goes to win over,
, but was criticized.
After taking a sip of tea, he found that the tea was already lukewarm. He immediately lost all interest and said tiredly: "These days have been really exhausting. I can't even pick up the energy. I'm going to take a nap. Brother Jing is feeling ill.
You need to pay attention to rest."
Cen Wenwen nodded and said: "This old bone is approaching its end, but it cannot be saved by human power. Let nature take its course."
Xiao Yu stood up, bowed, and then exited the room and returned to his own place to rest.
Cen Wenwen stayed alone in the room and asked someone to make another pot of tea. He drank the tea and stared at the scattered snowflakes outside the window, feeling heavy.
On that day, there was a loud noise in the foundry, and more than ten thousand Guanlong troops were wiped out. Cen Changqian also did not know whether she was alive or dead, and there was no news at all.
Cen Wenwen felt a twinge in his heart when he thought that his nephew, who had been smart, decisive and capable since childhood, might have turned into ashes long ago.
In life, except for the first thirty years of ambition and ambition, the remaining years are more about planning for the children, nephews and future generations. Life is only a few decades of cold and summer, except for the babble of childhood and the senility of old age.
, how many years can you live when you are full of energy? However, the bloodline passed down from generation to generation gives life another meaning.
The ultimate sadness in the world is when a white-haired person gives away a black-haired person, watching helplessly as the blood line is cut off, and a life of hard work and hard work ends up with no heir, and everything is in vain...

Yuwen family.
Although snowflakes were falling in the sky, the servants were very diligent and swept away the snow that fell on the ground. The corridors and stone paths in the mansion were extremely clean.
A large flower house was built in the courtyard on one side of the main hall.
Since the technology of making glass has become better and better, and the glass produced has become larger and more translucent, this expensive material has already entered the homes of the rich and powerful, replacing the past thousands of years that had to be framed every winter.
Window paper makes the interior of the beautifully decorated house brighter and brighter.
In particular, the flower house in the house with many Jiangnan green plants transplanted has become an object of admiration and envy. Nowadays, if any house in Chang'an City does not build a glass flower house like that and plant a few rare green plants, it will be
Sorry to call myself a wealthy family...
There is an earth dragon burning underground in the greenhouse, and the surrounding walls and dome are sealed with two layers of glass. This not only completely isolates the cold air, but also minimizes the shortcomings of glass that is easy to get cold and hot, and the thermal insulation effect becomes more and more obvious.
Nuo Da's greenhouse is full of green plants. They have just been watered, and the leaves are green and the flowers are bright. Set up a coffee table among the flower trees, stir-fry a few side dishes, warm a pot of good wine, and invite a friend to have a drink among the flowers.
, it is indeed a good enjoyment to wash away the tackiness of the world.
At this moment, Yu Wenshiji and Dugu Lan sat opposite each other, enjoying a drink.
Dugu Lan finished his glass of wine, pointed to a purple-red peony next to him, and praised: "There are many flowers and trees here, and they are all treasures in the world, but this peony is the best."
Yu Wenshiji looked along his fingers, smiled and nodded.
This is a "red peony". At a time when peonies are very popular in the world, and the richer the color, the more precious it is. Such a treasure with rich color and crystal clear leaves is rare even in the royal family.
It could be worth hundreds of gold if left outside.
Dugu Lan marveled at it and admired it for a while, then sighed and said: "It's a pity that although it is beautiful and beautiful in such a greenhouse, it cannot withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain. If it is moved outside at this moment, it will freeze like frost in an instant, and the cold wind will blow it.
.However, we only saw its beauty, but we never thought that once the wind and snow suddenly came, even a greenhouse would be unable to withstand the severe cold, and no matter how many earthworms were burned, it would not be able to avert the misfortune of ice and snow."
Yu Wenshiji held the wine glass in his hand and frowned slightly. There was something in his words...
