By the Cao and Wei Dynasties, Jingzhao Weishi was divided into multiple branches: Dongjuan, Xijuan, Yun Gongfang, etc.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, most families migrated south, but few Wei family members in Jingzhao left their hometowns. Most of them stayed in the Guanzhong area. The descendants of the family successively served in the former, later Zhao, and Shihu. During the former and later Qin regimes, the family continued to work for several generations.
The management in the troubled times in the north made Jingzhao Weishi become the head of the famous family in Guanzhong area.
Even though during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Guanlong clan clans relied on their military power to seize control of the government, Jingzhao Weishi was still a famous surname in Guanzhong and had strong strength.
Compared with the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Yang family of Hongnong, and the Wei family of Jingzhao, which suffered heavy losses at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they have maintained their strength and developed in a low-key manner. However, their low-key habits have made their reputation less prominent, and they have been ignored by the world. But only Jingzhao
If Zhao Weishi dares to strike hard, he will definitely set off a huge wave.
For an aristocratic family to move forward without any reservations, there must be an opportunity hidden in it that allows it to seize the maximum benefit. But what is this opportunity?
Changsun Wuji stared at Wei Qingsi with burning eyes.
This man was considered talented and well-known when he was young. In his early years, he served as Li Chengqian's prince's family order. He was highly regarded and extremely favored. When Li Chengqian was killed during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the power of the East Palace was uprooted. Although Wei Qingsi died because of his death.
Jingzhao Webster's huge heritage was spared, but he was dismissed from home and never entered an official career again.
This is by no means a playboy who has no ability and only wants to enjoy himself. Moreover, even if Wei Qingsi is reckless, how can the entire Jingzhao Wei family follow him?
However, Wei Qingsi's face still had a gentle and gentle expression, his eyes were clear, and he looked at Changsun Wuji, only slightly nodding, but there was nothing unusual about it.
Changsun Wuji became increasingly frightened...
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "The current situation is critical, and the morale of the military is slightly unstable. We should not indulge those who make mistakes. However, this is your first offense, and there are reasons for the incident. There are extenuating circumstances. I will write a letter to all the troops to warn them, so as to avoid past mistakes and future ones.
It can also be regarded as an encouragement for our outstanding disciples of Guanlong to train them carefully in the future and entrust them to be reused after their abilities are improved."
Previously, Wei Zhengju was to be severely punished, but now he is only being warned... The concession is extremely obvious.
Wei Qingsi's face softened and he said with emotion: "The Duke of Zhenguan is the most honored minister of Zhenguan, and he is also the leader of Guanlong. It is really a great honor for the descendants to care for the children of Guanlong so much. Don't worry, Duke, I am here today just to express my feelings to Wei Qingsi."
The attitude of family’s firm support is definitely not the guardian’s eagerness to ask for personal favors from the Duke... If there are mistakes, they must be corrected, so that they can recognize their mistakes and change them. This is the love and care for the children. No matter what punishment the Duke imposes, I will never
No regrets."
Yu Wenjie on the side has seen the most exquisite acting skills of top figures, and he also believes that Wei Qingsi came today not just to plead for Wei Zhengju. How can a mere Wei Zhengju compare with the future interests of the entire family?
…
After Wei Qingsi was sent away and Yu Wenjie returned to the hall, he saw Changsun Wuji, who had closed his eyes and thought, opened his eyes, looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Although Yu Wenjie was incompatible with Changsun Wuji in some concepts, it did not affect his respect and admiration for Changsun Wuji. After hearing the words, he bowed slightly, thought about it carefully, and said: "Wei Qingsi's words were unexpected, and
It is even more unbelievable that Jingzhao Webster is willing to express his position in front of you like this. There must be something happening behind the scenes to prompt Jingzhao Webster to make such a determination, otherwise it would be unreasonable."
Family members have always prioritized survival, and would do whatever it takes to gain profits only if they can ensure the continuation of the family. Once the family inheritance is threatened, they will sacrifice the lives of their clan members at will, not to mention those frivolous interests.
?
There must be a great opportunity behind it, which made Jingzhao Weishi firmly believe that this military remonstrance would end with the victory of Guanlong, so he would go all in regardless of the cost and risk, leaving no escape route.
Changsun Wuji nodded slowly, feeling a little irritable: "What exactly happened?"
The city of Chang'an has been completely controlled by the Guanlong army, and any disturbance cannot escape his eyes and ears. There has never been any change that can be related to Jingzhao Weishi's decision.
Or... did this opportunity come from outside?
The next moment his thoughts turned to the Eastern Expedition army that had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but had been wandering outside for a long time, and he felt a panic in his heart.
Even though he thought hard, Changsun Wuji really couldn't figure out what the real purpose of Li Ji's actions was. An army of hundreds of thousands was like a sharp sword hanging above his head. If it didn't fall, everything would be fine, but once it fell, it would kill him.
human life...
*****
In the evening, Fang Jun was waiting in the Chinese army tent for the return of Gao Kan's army. No matter how big Chang'an City was, it was only a few dozen miles in radius. Although Changsun Jiaqing's troops were stationed in Longshouyuan, cutting off the connection between the north and the east of the city, the scouts were still there.
You can go north from Ba River to the Wei River, and then follow the Wei River upstream to the Zhongwei Bridge to deliver news from the east of the city to the Xuanwu Gate.
So Gao Kan rushed all night, raided east of Baqiao in the early morning, and blew up Baqiao. By noon, the news had been sent back to the Youtunwei camp.
Fang Jun ordered people to send the battle report to Xuanwu Gate, and he personally sat in the Youtunwei camp. While waiting for Gao Kan, he was on guard against Changsun Wuji getting angry and instructing Changsun Jiaqing's troops to sneak attack the Youtunwei camp.
Before the pot of tea was finished, Wang Fangyi stepped in from outside and reported quickly: "To report to the commander-in-chief, there are dozens of students coming outside. The leader is general Xin Mao, a student from the academy, who wants to meet the commander-in-chief!"
"who?"
Fang Jun asked subconsciously, then stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Summon me quickly!"
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi turned around and exited.
Fang Jun was inexplicably excited. Ever since he heard that the academy students were ordered by the prince to guard the foundry bureau, gunpowder was ignited in the foundry bureau's warehouse. The entire foundry bureau was razed to the ground and more than ten thousand rebels were wiped out. The academy students were also in pieces.
, he felt heartbroken.
Zhenguan Academy was founded by him. It not only copied the model of later universities, making it the first comprehensive national highest institution in history, but also integrated military, astronomy, mathematics, physics and other disciplines, and regarded it as a starting point.
Pioneer of people's wisdom.
It can be said that Zhenguan Academy undertook Fang Jun’s supreme ideal and poured almost all his efforts into it.
However, a sudden mutiny destroyed the results of his long efforts...
He didn't care whether the academy was destroyed by the war. With the financial resources and power he possessed, he was able to rebuild a new academy in a very short period of time that was better than the previous one. Its scale was enough to dazzle the world.
But the students who have gathered together the most elite young people in the world today are the foundation and hope of this academy.
If all these students died in this military disaster, it would be almost equivalent to wiping out all the elites of this generation. If we want to recruit a group of such elite students, we will have to wait at least another twenty years...
When I was filled with emotion, I heard footsteps outside the tent. After a moment, a tall and thin young man lifted the curtain and came in. When he saw Fang Jun sitting behind the desk, his eyes turned red. He took two steps forward, bowed his hands to the ground, and trembled.
Said: "Student General Xin Mao has met the Duke of Yue!"
Fang Jun immediately stood up and quickly walked out from behind the desk. When he got close, he leaned over and helped Xin Maojiang up. Seeing his thin cheeks covered with frostbite and his whole body haggard, he felt regretful in his heart and said repeatedly: "No need."
How polite! Where have you been all these days? The entire Youtun Guard and the entire East Palace are sending troops to search everywhere, but there is no whereabouts of you. I am really worried!"
Since the foundry bureau was razed to the ground by the gunpowder in the warehouse, almost all the students were missing. Li Chengqian was anxious and sent out the elite "Hundred Cavalry" to search everywhere. However, except for a small number of scattered students who were able to be gathered, Cen Changqian, General Xin Mao, Ouyang Tong, etc.
There was no news from any of the student leaders, which made Li Chengqian extremely sad.
These students are not only talented and capable, but also loyal to the Prince of the East Palace. They can learn from the sun and the moon. They refused to retreat in the face of dozens of times the siege of the rebels. In the end, they would rather take huge risks to detonate the warehouse rather than let the rebels obtain gunpowder.
Attack the imperial city.
General Xin Mao felt sad when he saw Fang Jun so sincerely worried about the safety of his students. The seven-foot-tall man burst into tears: "We were ordered to guard the foundry that day, and everyone in the academy fought to the death, but the rebels were dozens of times stronger.
We suffered heavy casualties, and many classmates died on the spot. Later, the rebels mobilized a large force to attack fiercely, and we could not hold on, so we had to abandon the outer courtyard wall, fight and retreat, and fought tenaciously according to the geographical location. I led my classmates to break out of the encirclement and arrived in Kunming.
Ikegami moved the ships used for training and bombarded the enemy with ship-borne artillery, with no hope of killing the enemy. But in the end the artillery shells ran out and they would fall into the hands of thieves, so they could only break out to the north. However, the rebels were all over the mountains and plains. We panicked and encountered many interceptions.
, many classmates were killed or injured, so I led more than ten people across the Wei River and hid in the mountains near Jingyang, not daring to show their faces. The day before yesterday, the Duke of Yue led his army to conquer Jingyang City. After we heard the news, we went down the mountain to search.
But I learned that you had already fought your way back to Chang'an and that there were no more rebels blocking the way north of the Wei River, so I returned."
Fang Jun patted him on the shoulder. Just seeing how sad and haggard he was, you could tell what kind of suffering he had suffered in these days... He was worried about those students and ignored the comfort. He asked urgently: "Cen Changqian, who is guarding the foundry bureau, should I
