Seeing that Fang Jun was silent, Zhang Shigui continued: "If I can't say it, I won't say it, but I hope Erlang won't deceive me."
?????????????? You kid, don¡¯t try to use lies to try to prevaricate me.
Fang Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then please forgive me, Duke Guo. I have nothing to say."
Zhang Shigui: ""
Mother! Don't you kid understand human language? I just emphasized the tone, but you still didn¡¯t take it seriously
He immediately frowned and said angrily: "Stop messing around here. If you don't tell me today, I will definitely not let you go! I am also a soldier, and I can be considered strong and unyielding. However, I also know that the current situation is extremely critical. There is danger of overthrow at every turn, so you have to hold back for a while and wait for the future, which is really what you have to do. But you are always tough, and you even start a war without authorization, and you are bent on obstructing the peace talks and putting everyone in the East Palace in danger. What are your intentions? "
Fang Jun was silent.
It stands to reason that Zhang Shigui not only appreciated and cared for him very much, but the reason why he was able to successfully reorganize Youtun Guards was because of Zhang Shigui's support. This was the old army that Zhang Shigui built by himself. There is a legacy relationship between the two. Now Zhang Shigui asked Fang Jun that he shouldn't say anything.
But Fang Jun remained silent and kept silent
Zhang Shigui was a little angry: "Is there any secret mixed in it?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "There is no secret, it's just that everyone has different opinions. Many people think that being patient for a while is the best policy, and many hidden dangers can be solved in the future. After all, protecting the East Palace is the fundamental thing. However, But I think that Guan Long is just a paper tiger. Instead of raising a tiger to cause trouble, we might as well finish it off in one battle. The risk is certainly there, but once we win, we can cleanse the court and wipe out all the evil spirits. From then on, everyone will be in full compliance with the court. Lay the foundation of the empire that will last forever.¡±
Zhang Shigui shook his head and questioned: "After the fall of Guanlong, there are also Jiangnan and Shandong. Although the world's aristocratic families are constantly at odds with each other, due to the same nature, they will join forces and advance and retreat together in every crisis. This time The fact that the armies of all the powerful clans in the world have entered the pass to support Guan Long is a clear proof. Without Guan Long to resist the imperial power, there will be other powerful clans, and the situation will remain the same. Where will the people come from to support the court?"
The clans are the cancer of the empire. This has been basically recognized by the government and the public. Even the clans themselves admit that the interests of the family are higher than the interests of the country. In their eyes, there is no country but a family. Even though the East Palace won a complete victory this time and Guanlong was overthrown, the structure of the imperial court remained unchanged. The position vacated by Guanlong needed to be filled by other clans. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others do their best to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince?
It¡¯s just for the sake of a change of power one day.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I simply don¡¯t know what it means to say that everyone is prosperous and prosperous
Therefore, the victory or defeat between the East Palace and Guanlong only affects the interests of one person and one family, and has no impact on the structure of the court or the general trend of the world.
In this case, why take the huge risk to defeat Guan Long?
As long as the prince can stabilize his position as the crown prince and successfully ascend the throne in the future, that will be the ultimate victory. Apart from that, it doesn't matter whether Guan Long lives or dies.
So many people don¡¯t understand Fang Jun¡¯s approach
Fang Jun still shook his head: "We have different concepts. Needless to say. This mutiny is a life and death disaster for the East Palace. In fact, it is also a turning point for whether the Tang Dynasty can survive forever. It is by no means a matter of life and death for one person, one family, and one surname. We, When you are there, you should be able to look into the future, understand the mysteries, and die for the sake of the empire for all eternity."
Historically, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak during the Kaiyuan period, and could even be said to be the insurmountable peak of the entire feudal era. However, everything was just a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the clans attached to the body of the empire sucked like cancerous tumors. The prosperity of the people is not so much the prosperity of the empire as it is the prosperity of the family.
? It is precisely because of the existence of clans that indirectly led to the separatist situation of the vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty. Those clans who exploited the empire and the people directly or indirectly supported the warlords for their own interests and dominated one side, resulting in the collapse of the political power and the strong branches and weak branches.
For example, during the "Anshi Rebellion", it was widely publicized that An Lushan led 150,000 "Hu troops" to rebel. In fact, except for An Lushan's own 8,000 brave "Yiluohe" heavy cavalry, most of the rest They are all Han armies. Their numbers, establishment, names and even the military locations can be checked and compared. Where are there so many Hu people?
These so-called "Hu people" armies are actually armies directly or indirectly controlled by powerful families. They carry out rebellion in the name of "Hu people".
The most ironic thing is that at that time, all the countries in the Western Regions were summoned by King Jingqin, and countless Hu soldiers came from thousands of miles away to defend the Tang Dynasty.?Guanzhong, fighting the Han rebels
Everything is driven by the interests of the clan.
As long as the wealthy families existed, the so-called "prosperity of the Tang Dynasty" was nothing but self-deception. "The rice was greasy, the millet was white," and all was stored in the warehouses of wealthy families. Looking at the state, "the wine and meat of the wealthy families smelled stinky, and the roads were frozen to death." "This is the real picture.
It was the selfish greed of the clan that led to the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion", which in turn hollowed out this huge empire, leaving the center empty and wars everywhere, and single-handedly created the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
In the melee of the country, the people did not talk about their lives. The Central Plains were in the middle of the room, and the white bones were exposed to the wild. There was no chicken in thousands of miles.
¡¡
After leaving Xuanwu Gate, Fang Jun walked all the way to the prince's residence in Neizhong Gate, his heart racing.
He took a few deep breaths at the door to calm down, and then let the chamberlain come in. After being summoned by the prince, Fang Jun entered and saw Li Jing, Xiao Yu, and Liu Ji sitting opposite the prince, drinking tea and discussing things.
Fang Jun stepped forward to greet him. Li Chengqian looked solemn and waved his hands: "Young Master Yue, you don't need to be polite. Please come forward. I just want to find you."
Fang Jun stepped forward, knelt down next to Li Ji, and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian asked the servant to pour tea and said, "Let Duke Wei do the talking."
The chamberlain poured a cup of tea for Fang Jun, then stepped aside to boil water. Fang Jun took a sip of tea and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing said: "The rebels have been mobilized continuously in the past two days. More than 10,000 clan troops entered the city and were organized together with the Guanlong army. Last night, a large number of additional siege equipment was deployed. As expected, there will be an attack in the past two days. A big battle.¡±
Fang Jun nodded, not surprised by this.
Changsun Wuji was afraid of Li Ji and hoped that the peace talks would succeed, but he was unwilling to let other Guanlong clans take the lead in the peace talks, which would cause great harm to his interests and even have long-term consequences. So to show his final toughness, on the one hand, he hopes to achieve a breakthrough on the battlefield and enhance his voice, and on the other hand, it is to demonstrate to the other Guanlong clans that if you want to go beyond me to negotiate peace with the East Palace, there is no way.
From all angles, a war is inevitable.
This is what Fang Jun hopes to drag out the war as long as possible, so that all the powerful armies in the world can be involved.
As long as this goal is achieved, no matter how many sacrifices and risks are taken, it will be worth it
The atmosphere is a bit solemn. Guan Long's troops are far superior to those of the East Palace. Now many powerful armies are participating in the war. The rebels are even more powerful. This battle is bound to be extremely tragic for the East Palace.
If the Taiji Palace is captured by the rebels and the war reaches the Neizhong Gate or even the Xuanwu Gate, then the East Palace will have no choice but to retreat and retreat to the Western Regions, relying on the geographical advantages of the Hexi Corridor to resist the rebels.
Li Chengqian said nothing and drank tea silently.
Liu Ji couldn't help frowning and complaining to Fang Jun, saying: "If it weren't for the raid on the rebel camp by Youtun Guards, Changsun Wuji wouldn't be so tough. He finally pushed the peace talks forward, but because of this, it came to a standstill and was even on the verge of breaking up. In fact, It¡¯s extremely reckless.¡±
Xiao Yu on the side drooped his eyebrows and indulged it without saying a word.
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Ji, and asked: "The rebels tore up the armistice contract, attacked the East Neiyuan, and provoked first. Does Liu Shizhong hope that the entire army will swallow their anger and allow the abuse to take care of the overall situation?"
Liu Jie retorted: "The so-called 'sneak attack' is just what the Duke of Yue said. There were only the corpses of Youtun Guards at the scene, but not even an enemy prisoner or corpse was seen. This is very strange."
Fang Jun looked at Liu Ji with an expressionless face and said in a deep voice: "It concerns the reputation of the generals and commanders of Youtun Guard, and it also concerns the merits and pensions of the fallen soldiers. As the prime minister and assistant, Liu Shizhong should be careful in his words and deeds. If there is no real evidence to prove that the sneak attack was planned by me privately, you will have to give an explanation to the superiors and subordinates of Youtun Guards."
With his current status and strength, if there is no real evidence, no one can do anything against him, let alone just Liu Jie. Even if the prince has doubts, there is nothing he can do.
If Liu Jie dares to continue to hold on to this matter, he doesn't mind giving the servant a little look.
