Li Chengqian was very confused and confused about Fang Jun's repeated behavior of ignoring the peace talks and even sending troops without permission to disrupt and sabotage the peace talks.
But he understood Fang Jun's hint this time: he must stand firm at all times and maintain the emperor's authority and etiquette. He must not damage the king's authority because of the immediate advantages and disadvantages, otherwise there will be future troubles...
As for the future troubles, Fang Jun wouldn't say, and Li Chengqian couldn't ask, but he could always make a guess.
When his father was in Chang'an, although his father had gradually recognized him as the prince, his love for the crown prince had never been broken. Now that Guan Long has raised his troops, the kings of Wei and Jin have been praised by both the government and the public for their character and high praise. How could he not be here?
Do you weigh and compare from the bottom of your heart?
The conclusion is: if the father is still there, Yi Chu's heart will probably become even more intense...
Whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Jin, he is indeed a brilliant man among men, and Li Chengqian laments that he is not as good as him.
In comparison, if Li Chengqian is in conflict with Guan Long, no matter whether the reason is to stabilize the reserve or to make the empire stop losses as much as possible, on the surface it seems to be even worse than those two people? Sometimes, people's views are irrational and extremely extreme and narrow-minded.
——The same thing, if some people do it, everyone agrees, but if others do it, it is wrong...
Don't talk about following the right in everything, let alone choosing the lesser of two evils. Once some things are done, at a certain moment, in the eyes of certain people, it will be an unforgivable mistake.
Li Chengqian thought that he could not match his father's majestic strategy, but he had always restrained himself by his father's requirements. At this time, he would inevitably think in his heart: If his father was still here, what would he want him to do? If he really had to deal with Guan Long
Will sexual immorality be the reason why the father and the emperor are reluctant to be crown princes?
Fang Jun never said it thoroughly and stopped at the most pointed point. It can be seen that his "deep difficulties" are not excuses. If you think about it further... you simply can't imagine it.
…
Although some people hated Fang Jun's unscrupulous attack on the rebels because their own interests were violated, but for the vast majority of the officials in the East Palace and those who were loyal to Zhengshuo, last night's fire was
It makes my heart feel happy and inexplicably excited.
Ever since Guan Long suddenly raised his troops and invaded the Taiji Palace, the East Palace has been in a state of being passively beaten, and it is in danger of overturning at every turn, which is frightening. Who would have thought that in such an unfavorable situation, the East Palace would suddenly
After suffering for half a year, and then today, there is a bright future, and a hopeless life?
For a time, Fang Jun's name was praised by many, and he was regarded as a god, and his prestige increased greatly.
Li Ji was stationed in Tongguan, and the entire Guanzhong was in the palm of his hand. The fire that glowed half red outside the golden gate and under the Yushi altar last night would naturally not be ignored. Before dawn, the individual scouts continued to send back the news. Li Ji
Sitting in the Guanxia Yamen Office, I already know the situation in Chang'an well.
"It's amazing. Who would have thought that under such a severe situation, Fang Er would burn more than 100,000 stones and grain in the heart of the Guanlong army? Not to mention how difficult it was to accomplish this, it's unbelievable even just thinking about it."
Cheng Yaojin sipped his tea and sighed.
Zhang Liang was silent while holding the tea cup, with complex thoughts. He was "forced" to succumb to Fang Jun. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel a little bit unhappy in his heart, but over the years he had also understood that Fang Jun was really shocked.
She is extremely talented, it would be nice if she could always have a backer.
In the officialdom, people stand in this row today and in that row tomorrow. Most officials are divided by the wind. Even behemoths such as Guanlongmen have to choose their sides according to the situation, but the way they choose their queues is more complicated.
In order to be fierce, after discovering that the prince could not support their interests, he decisively raised his troops and launched an uprising, intending to depose the East Palace and establish another prince to achieve the purpose of ensuring his own interests.
Li Ji stood by the window, looking towards the direction of Chang'an City, where dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The so-called 'times make heroes' is nothing better than this. It rained again last night, but it was just a steady stream. "Li Li, I couldn't put out the fire. If I choose to set it tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to go back in vain."
The Eastern Expedition, which was launched with the whole country's efforts, highlighted the control of the military by the family members. This was a thorny and threatening situation for even a wise and powerful emperor like His Majesty Li Er. It caused the interests of the family members to override the interests of the country. fully revealed.
But at the same time, we also witnessed the rise of a new generation of "military gods."
The best generals in the country, the most elite troops, and the entire country's resources are piled up on the battlefield in Liaodong. However, Fang Jun relies on the force of a guard to turn the tide. He can not only defend the territory and show his prestige outside the territory, but also hold up the sky to protect the mainstay. The force suppressed and defeated the Guanlong army.
Maybe Li Jingzhi is still powerful, or maybe Li Ji is in his prime, but the sudden rise of Fang Jun has undisputed qualifications to be on par with or even equal to them.
Don't forget, hundreds of thousands of low-level Tang troops besieged Pingrang City, which was still as solid as a rock, for more than a month, but it was the navy under Fang Jun that captured it in one battle and overthrew Goguryeo...
Yuchi Gong said depressedly: "At the beginning, we excluded Fang Er from the Eastern Expedition army. Who would have expected that today, he would achieve such a prominent feat? Who could have expected it?"
Everyone knew that Fang Jun's army was powerful and invincible, so almost all the clans cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding and squeezed Fang Jun out of the Eastern Expedition army. Even His Majesty Li Er felt the influence of each clan. Tough attitude and had to compromise.
In the past, Fang Jun was left in Chang'an so that he could no longer win military exploits, but he did not expect that Tuyuhun, Turks, and Dashi would successively raise troops to invade. The troops in Guanzhong were weak, but Fang Jun was given a God-given opportunity. He defeated Tuyuhun, Turks, and then rushed to The Western Region generals devoured 200,000 troops and defeated them in a blink of an eye. They fled the Western Regions in embarrassment, and then rushed thousands of miles to help, fighting all the way back to Chang'an, and thwarted Guanlong's conspiracy.
Looking back, when various clans joined forces to exclude Fang Junzhi, it was more like an assist, single-handedly pushing Fang Jun to the pinnacle of military generals...
Ashina Simo and Xue Wanche sat together, with their eyelids drooped, drinking tea slowly and turning a deaf ear to the discussions around them, let alone participating in them.
It's important for people to be self-aware, and these two did a great job.
Cheng Yaojin said "Hey" and said: "What if there was no mutiny like this? Fang Er's achievements and strength today are no longer those of Wu Xia Amen. He has many powerful generals under his command and countless capable people. Right The garrison guards and the navy are the most powerful among the armies of the Tang Dynasty, especially the navy. They are invincible across the vast sea. It can be said that as long as you reach the seaside, that is Fang Er's territory."
Everyone thought so.
Do the math, how many countries have perished at the hands of Fang Jun so far?
When the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, Hou Junji was the commander-in-chief, but Fang Jun led the Shenji Battalion to go out with the army, and his presence was definitely not low. After that, he was stationed in Gaochang for a time; However, the bloodline of the emperor, which is said to have been passed down for thousands of years, is cut off. The leader of the country is supported by the navy. The whole country is under the control of the navy. If there are sufficient benefits, the country can be overthrown in a matter of seconds; Annan and the Japanese country are basically the same. Similarly, the strength of the naval force has already overawed the entire country, making them grovel and become vassals...
In terms of pure merit, Fang Jun has surpassed Li Jing and Li Ji. What he lacks is just qualifications.
But qualifications are mostly acquired through hard work. As long as they live a little, even a person who lives on a plain diet can become a senior member of the imperial court. At Fang Jun's current age, as long as he does not die brutally, he will definitely become the "number one in the military" in the foreseeable future. "One person" gained power that neither Li Jing nor Li Ji really had.
It’s really a formidable and enviable future life...
Everyone expressed their emotions and finally returned to the topic.
Yuchi Gong asked: "Now that the situation in Chang'an has become clear, the Guanlong rebels will either broker peace talks or die together. What is the commander-in-chief's plan?"
Everyone looked at Li Ji together.
For a long time, Li Ji used strong tactics to suppress all forces in the army, but he has always been unwilling to reveal his position and inclination. This made these proud soldiers and heroes of the day anxious and full of doubts. To this day, the East Palace is almost If you are in an invincible position, you can't continue to hide it, right?
When Li Ji was silent and silent, Cheng Yaojin had already shaken his head and said: "For the time being, regardless of anything else, the first thing to do is to send His Majesty back to Chang'an and place him in the Taiji Palace. Then he will announce it to the world and hold a state funeral."
Everyone was silent for a while, feeling sad, and their resentment towards Li Ji gradually deepened.
Your Majesty has so much trust in you, but now you place your Majesty's dragon body in Tongguan, which is not as close as Chang'an...
