Chapter 1,793 The clouds are clearing and the moon is bright
Raindrops were falling on the umbrella. Cen Wenwen stood under the umbrella and watched in the distance. After taking off his armor, only the eldest son Jiaqing, who was only wearing a white tunic and five-flowered tie, was escorted by the guards and locked up in the yard on the side of the barracks, smiling.
Said to Cen Changqian:
"Don't be proud, don't be impetuous, be firm in your will and have your own opinions, and the future will be smooth and glorious. Moreover, life is full of grass and trees, and when you truly have your own opinions and find your own ideal revenge, the success or failure of life and death will matter.
What does it matter? Every ups and downs is a different and colorful scenery in the journey of life. You only need to appreciate it and don't be dejected. A hundred years later, it will all be a piece of loess, and the imperial hegemony will be reduced to ashes. You have to do it.
Only if we have some pursuits that transcend life and death and can be passed down to future generations."
Not to mention the short span of a few decades of cold and summer, even if the dynasty and empire were at their peak, I have never heard of a situation that lasted for eternity and fell into decline, and the heaven and earth were in perfect order.
Only those dazzling achievements can be engraved in the history of history, admired by future generations, and will never decay for thousands of years.
Having said this, he smiled quite self-deprecatingly: "I taught you these words, but I learned this truth not long ago from Fang Jun. That guy is extremely talented. He was born to know it, but he never learned it.
Put fame and wealth in front of you and take a closer look. Everything you say and do is for the empire and for the well-being of the people. Even if you are a prime minister, you will only have a few words in the history book after a hundred years. However, when your career is successful,
It can be passed down forever and shine through the ages. It’s a pity that I am not yet fifty years old, but I am extremely ill and no longer have the energy to pursue those great achievements that created the world. This vision can only be placed in you. I hope you will forge ahead with determination. Don’t
It didn’t live up to my expectations.”
God is always unfair. He has just realized that Fang Jun has always ignored fame and wealth, and poured his heart and soul into his passion for a thousand years of career. However, his body is like a candle in the wind, and he no longer has the energy to overcome obstacles and create new worlds for this purpose.
However, even if there are regrets, there are not many complaints, just as the Master said: "He who hears the Tao in the morning will die in the evening."
It is enough for a person to understand the true meaning of fame and wealth before he dies, and to understand how to fundamentally transform dynasties and benefit all people.
Why should we tirelessly pursue the elusive truth?
In the vast world and the universe, there are countless truths hidden in the long river of time. Human life is limited, and even with all the power of a lifetime, you cannot glimpse them. Even if you are lucky enough to know one or two of the truths, the truth hidden behind them will be even greater.
Coming in droves.
Life is like existing in a thick fog, constantly making mistakes, constantly correcting, and constantly making discoveries.
Never ending.
…
Naturally, Cen Changqian, who is currently in a state of mind, cannot understand and comprehend the insights that a great figure like Cen Wenwen can overcome with his lifetime wisdom.
When Cen Changqian seemed to understand but was confused and didn't know how to answer, Cen Wenwen had already taken a step into the rain. The servants beside him followed closely behind, and the umbrella was firmly held on top of his head to block the rain.
The drizzle of rain.
Gradually go away towards the prince's residence.
*****
The drizzle gradually became thicker, and the raindrops were dripping under the eaves. The air was moist and cold, but there was a lively atmosphere inside the prince's residence.
Many civil servants and military generals gathered here, sitting on their knees in groups, whispering to each other, exchanging the details of the battle they had just learned and their views on the changes in the situation after the battle. It was very lively.
Li Chengqian sat in the first place, with Xiao Yu and Li Jing in front of him, and Liu Jie was one seat below Xiao Yu. Cen Wenwen entered, greeted the prince and everyone, and then sat down between Xiao Yu and Liu Jie.
After a while, the servant outside the door shouted: "The Duke of Yue has an audience!"
The lively discussions in the hall immediately disappeared, and the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at the door, watching the tall and handsome Fang Jun, dressed in military uniform, striding in...
"My Lord, Fangjun, has an audience with His Highness."
Fang Jun came to his hall and bowed his head to the ground.
Li Chengqian's face was full of joy. He could no longer maintain the "stable" persona he had worked so hard to build over the years. He smiled and waved: "The Duke of Yue has worked hard and achieved great results, so why should we be more polite? Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you, this great hero.
Hurry up and take your seat."
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, some were envious and some were jealous.
Today, no one in the East Palace can compare with Fang Jun in terms of meritorious service. Even the princes and tutors are not qualified to point fingers at Fang Jun.
Especially when Li Jing stood up and offered his seat to Fang Jun with a smile on his face, the entire lobby was filled with lemon...
When Fang Jun saw Li Jing standing up and offering his seat to him with a smile, he was startled and said hurriedly: "Duke Wei, are you trying to defeat this junior? You are the idol in the hearts of our soldiers, with admiration and admiration as high as mountains and seas. Besides, this junior is a little bit indifferent."
How can your achievements be compared with your great achievements in establishing the country? I would never dare, I would never dare."
Li Jing laughed and said: "There are talents from generation to generation, and the new generation is better than the old ones. The Duke of Yue has made brilliant military achievements and turned the tide. Sooner or later, my position will be yours. What's the harm in sitting a few days earlier?"
Fang Jun only took his words seriously when he was mad. He hurriedly refused firmly, but he was very grateful in his heart.
He was not a fool. Li Jing naturally knew that he would sit down if he could not give up his seat. The reason why he made such a gesture in front of a full hall of East Palace officials was to establish in one fell swoop that Fang Jun was the number one person in the East Palace army.
status.
Having lived to Li Jing's age and experienced so many setbacks, he has long been indifferent to the struggle for fame and wealth. Supporting Fang Jun as soon as possible to become a veritable "number one in the military" is crucial to the stability of the East Palace Army. After all,
Nowadays, in fact, even Li Jing can hardly shake Fang Jun's prestige among the troops in the East Palace.
After all, he is an outsider after all, and Fang Jun is a member of the East Palace family with "honorable roots", not to mention that Fang Jun's status in the heart of the prince is unparalleled...
Of course, he only made this gesture to let outsiders understand the changes in Fang Jun's status, and also to let Fang Jun and the prince feel that he was not jealous at all and would wholeheartedly assist the prince to achieve great things without any constraints.
at.
Li Jing, who originally had no outstanding political talent, gradually came to appreciate the true meaning of it after going through many hardships, and his thoughts and actions have become very different...
Fang Jun took his seat, sitting behind Li Jing and Li Daozong, including Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County who was far away in Jiaohe City. After comprehensive status, title, meritorious service and other qualifications, Fang Jun was the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty military. Even Cheng
Yao Jin, Yu Chigong and others will also be ranked behind him.
Li Ji excelled both in civil and military affairs, and as the chief minister, he was already above everyone else...
Fang Jun was sitting among the generals, his face was calm, but his heart was anything but peaceful.
Li Jingwei was famous and had numerous military exploits. He was a descendant of Li Daozong's royal family and had a distinguished status. Li Xiaogong was even more so "the number one commander in the clan". Together with Fang Jun, Zhang Shigui and others, Dong Gong's strength in the Tang Dynasty's military accounted for almost "half of the country", let alone The Guanlong clan is deeply afraid. If His Majesty Li Er were still there at this moment, I am afraid that he would not be able to sleep well at night.
After all, the emperor is the most insecure profession in the world. There is no other profession. He has to sleep with one eye open to prevent someone from making trouble, assassinating the king and killing the king. He must be on guard against everything and fear everything all day long. Once any of the civil servants and generals have strength, If the number increases greatly and all parties are connected, they will become tense instantly, and even their own sons must be on guard.
Sitting in the supreme position in the world, until the moment I die, my thoughts can be summed up in one sentence: There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me...
Even though His Majesty Li Er is broad-minded and unparalleled in courage, he will still be wary of such a powerful East Palace because of the emperor's natural sense of crisis.
Historically, whenever the prince's strength makes the emperor feel threatened, there will probably be no good end... So, if His Majesty Li Er were sitting here right now, how would he feel and how would he react?
Fang Jun smiled faintly and his eyes were deep...
…
Li Chengqian looked around at the ministers in front of him, feeling excited and full of ambition for a moment.
Before today, he was still worried, fearing that the next moment the rebels would capture the Xuanwu Gate, rush into the palace, depose the prince, and kill him with a glass of poisonous wine. However, one night later, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Guanlong rebels again Unable to deal a fatal blow to him, the situation has reached a stalemate and victory is not far away.
As for Li Ji who was stationed in Tongguan... Li Chengqian didn't think it could threaten his status as prince. After all, Li Ji was calm-minded and far-sighted, and he would never do something that would risk the world's disapproval.
With a slight cough, Li Chengqian said: "The Duke of Yue has planned a strategy to defeat the rebels, and his ambition of 'two-pronged attack, two fronts at the same time' has been completely frustrated, and has won a good opportunity for the East Palace to reverse. All of you, dear friends, are all alone. At this moment, Please feel free to speak freely about how you should respond."
