Dong Palace and Guan Long are both at the pinnacle of the empire's power hierarchy. Naturally, they are deeply entangled with each other and are inseparable. Guan Long's informants in the East Palace must also have Dong Palace's eyes and ears on Guan Long's side. This is unusual, so there is no need to hide it.
.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I just learned about it, and I feel deeply sad. When Duke Ying returns home later, I would like to ask you to express your condolences in front of Duke Zhao. I also ask Duke Ying to ask Duke Zhao on your behalf: Changsun Anye has committed a crime."
The grave crime of treason was due to the queen's mother's plea for mercy, but the emperor's father only spared her and exiled her without clarifying the official punishment. The eldest grandson's family should be grateful for the emperor's kindness and repay it wholeheartedly, but why was the eldest grandson Anye who should have been exiled to Lingnan instead?
Appeared in Chang'an City and was entrusted with an important task by the Duke of Zhao, trying to go to Luoyang to persuade the British Duke to join Guan Long in the unfaithful and unjust act of rebellion without a king or father?"
Don't tell me whether Changsun Anye was killed by Fang Jun, but first explain why an exiled person returned home privately?
Yu Wenshi and his quick thinking naturally knew not to get entangled in this, otherwise not only would Fang Jun be innocent in killing people, but he might also get a reward of "justice"...
He shook his head with a wry smile and said in a sincere tone: "I don't know why Changsun Anye appeared in Chang'an and was appointed by Zhao Guogong. I am afraid that I have to ask Zhao Guogong to find out the inside story... However, Changsun Anye is indeed being imprisoned now.
Jun was killed by countless witnesses, so there is no excuse. Zhao Guogong wants to give an explanation to His Highness, but I wonder what His Highness thinks?"
It is true that Changsun Anye should not have appeared in Chang'an, but the problem is that now Changsun Wuji has died of his own brother, do you still expect him to punish the matter first according to the court law?
If you want peace talks, you can only give Changsun Wuji an explanation, otherwise the peace talks will completely fail...
No matter how good-tempered Li Chengqian was, he could not help but feel that his dignity had been offended at this moment. He stared at Yuwen Shiji with burning eyes and said word by word: "The eldest grandson Anye deserved his crime and died unjustly. As a prince, he did not know a criminal who violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
What more explanation do you want? Now that the imperial city is in ruins, the Taiji Palace is in ruins, and the soldiers under Gu's command are dying, who will give Gu an explanation?"
Xiao Yu saw something bad, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so stubborn today. After saying this, he was dead. Unless Yu Wenshiji bowed down, he could only say goodbye and leave...
He hurriedly said: "The Duke of Ying made ardent words, saying that the eldest son Anye was killed by Fang Jun. At present, Fang Jun has not paid back for his work for His Highness. You can't just take what you say? Witness testimony is not really much evidence.
, I can find hundreds or even thousands of personal witnesses anytime and anywhere to prove that the eldest grandson Anye was not killed by Fang Jun."
Yu Wenshiji also did not want to break up the talks with Li Chengqian. He tried his best to promote the peace talks, and did not want to watch Guan Long and Donggong fight to the death, and eventually bleed the blood of Guan Long's children, only to be plucked by others...
So Xiao Yu's words at this moment solved the problem for him. He deliberately looked at Xiao Yu and asked: "Does Duke Song mean that he refuses to admit that Fang Jun killed the eldest grandson Anye?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "No, it's fair and just to kill people to pay for their lives, and to pay back debts and money. However, this matter needs to be strictly examined, verified many times, and the witnesses and material evidence are complete before the case can be finalized. This matter is of great importance, so it must be
Duke Ying also knows how powerful it is and should not take it lightly."
The meaning behind the words is actually simple. Let's suppress this matter together and delay it for as long as possible. Otherwise, if we get entangled in this matter now, the peace talks will immediately collapse...
To a certain extent, the two people's wishes are consistent.
Yu Wenshi then nodded slightly and said: "What Song Guogong said is reasonable... Anyway, I will also advise Zhao Guogong later. It is true that relatives are brutally killed, but it can only be decided after the evidence is solid. Furthermore,
Come on, how can the private grievances of one family and one surname be compared with the imperial state? Duke Zhao is a sensible person, otherwise he would not hold on to it."
Negotiation requires skills. The struggle for advancement and retreat in the negotiation field is not only about the comparison of the strengths of the two parties, but also about the use of skills. When you need to be strong, you will be strong, and when you need to retreat, you will retreat. Sometimes retreating can be used to gain the upper hand.
For example, right now, it is said that Fang Jun killed the person. It is unquestionable. No matter how you say it, it is Donggong's fault. However, Yu Wenshi backed down and said that the overall situation should be the most important thing and was willing to dissuade Changsun Wuji from giving up his personal life.
Gratitude and grudges are on the side of Yu Wenshi and others. Everyone in the East Palace must express their gratitude and make appropriate concessions in return. Otherwise, they will be ignorant and messy.
Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and the former nodded and said: "The Duke of Ying is loyal to the country and is a model for courtiers. At this time, he is still willing to put the overall situation first, which makes him very happy. Compared with the moral character of Duke Ying
, Erlang is really too impulsive and far away."
Yu Wenshi sighed secretly in his heart. There were rumors in the city that His Royal Highness had no ambitions, was mediocre in talent, and lacked intelligence. However, from this sentence, it can be seen that he is still somewhat eloquent and quick-witted.
This sounds like he is praising him, but he is compared with Fang Jun... It is true that Fang Jun is world-famous and famous all over the country, but everyone in the world praises his "talent", who will praise his "virtue"? Then
Not only is his personal style a mess, his rebellious behavior is mixed with confusion, but his work style is also very violent and unreasonable.
If a person is reduced to being as moral as Fang Jun, then this person's virtue is really not much higher...
However, Yuwen Shiji was not angry either. He understood that this was the prince's counterattack against the advantage he had just achieved by retreating, so he smiled and said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. As Song Guogong said just now, everything needs more.
Only with the evidence can the case be finalized. As the crown prince of the country, I hope that His Highness will not bend the law for personal gain and protect his subordinates... I have come here today to ask you on behalf of the Duke of Zhao. If you take the initiative to abdicate the throne in favor of a worthy person and tell the world, what will it take?
conditions of?"
The first half of the sentence is still gentle and gentle, but the second half suddenly reveals its majesty.
The change of rhythm is really shocking...
Xiao Yuzheng interrupted, but Li Chengqian waved his hand to stop him.
Li Chengqian sat up straight, stared at Yuwen Shiji with his eyes, and said slowly: "It seems that Duke Ying has not yet figured out the basis of the peace talks. Only when Guanlong disbands his army and lays down his weapons can the peace talks continue.
It is necessary. As a prince alone, the country is in good shape, and he is ordered to be canonized by his father's golden code. How can he abdicate in embarrassment under the coercion of his rebellious ministers? If so, how can I explain to the benevolent people in the world, how to explain to my father, and how to explain to the country?
?There is absolutely no need to discuss this matter."
In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
From the beginning, both sides expressed their opinions strongly. Guan Long advocated that "the prince abdicates the throne and declares it to the world", while the prince emphasized that Guan Long must "disband the army and lay down his weapons." Both sides insisted on their own opinions, saying that the only way to achieve their own ideas was
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to continue the peace talks. Otherwise, they can only break up and continue to fight fiercely and bleed in the Tai Chi Palace.
Don't give in an inch.
But more of it is just a trial...
Li Jing suddenly said: "All the nobles in the world have gathered to support Guan Long, but I don't know if reinforcements from all over the country will arrive in time. When will they be able to complete the assembly?"
The current situation is at a stalemate, but Guan Long is confident. Changsun Wuji uses hard or soft methods to win over, forcing all the powerful people in the world to work together to support Guan Long. As soon as the reinforcements from the powerful people in the world arrive, the current balance of power in Chang'an is instantly overturned.
, the East Palace has only one way to fail.
Therefore, the time for the arrival of reinforcements from the world's elites is naturally extremely important. It is not an exaggeration to consider it top secret for Guan Long, but Li Jing asked it so casually and naturally.
What is even more surprising is that Yu Wenshiji seems to be completely unaware of the importance of this matter to Guan Long. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "The specific time has not been determined. I guess there is no comprehensive plan on the part of Zhao Guogong. After all, it involves
There are too many sects, and all kinds of accidents are happening one after another, overwhelming them. It is impossible for anyone to predict the exact time. But according to the current progress reported by various sects, reinforcements from half of the clans will arrive in Chang'an in one and a half months at most, and at the latest
In no more than three months, all the clan members will be assembled in Chang'an."
After a pause, he asked again: "Has the Anxi Army already set off from Jiaohe City?"
Li Jing did not hide anything, nodded and said: "The Duke of Yue led his army to the west. The Battle of Gongyue City severely damaged the Dashi army, causing them to flee all the way. Uighur Khan Tumidu led the coalition forces of all ethnic groups in the Western Region to pursue them. Now,
The enemies in the Western Region have basically been eliminated, and the Anxi Army can mobilize a large number of troops and has begun to rush to the East Palace."
