Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3203 interests first
Even though Li Chengqian could be regarded as the most staunch "Fang Jun supporter" in the court, he was still a little speechless in the face of Liu Ji's bottomless flattery.

There is nothing to say about the ability of this new servant, it's just that his bones are too soft, and his position will fall with the wind.As a supporter of the crown prince's family, it is right to defend Fang Jun in front of the other ministers, but...you are a servant after all, one of the upright ministers, it is unbelievable that you are so unprincipled.

It is said that Xu Jingzong's slanderous words are unscrupulous, but now it seems that this Liu Jie is not under Xu Jingzong at all, he is really a strange thing in the officialdom...

Li Chengqian suddenly thought, now Xu Jingzong, Liu Ji and other people without character are all gathered in the East Palace. Judging from the standard configuration of "faint ruler and courtiers", isn't he also a ruler of no morals?
Damn...

Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen are also not ashamed of Liu Ji's unlimited flattery, and you are just flattering the prince, why bother to flatter Fang Jun so much?

After all, he is also one of Zaifu, so he can't even lose face.

Cen Wenwen coughed, and said: "During the memorial, Duke Yue has explained in detail the internal disputes in Tubo, especially how the Gar family suffered from fear and rejection, and had to be exiled to the Qinghai Lake area to serve as the leader of the Great Tang Dynasty. buffer with Tubo. The Gar family was resentful and dissatisfied with Songtsen Gampo, which is also a matter of course. To survive between the gaps between the two countries, it is particularly important to ease the relationship with the Tang Dynasty. If Songtsan Gampo invaded Hexi brazenly, he would be cut off from the Tang Dynasty. When the two countries go to war, the Gar family will bear the brunt. The day of genocide is not far away. It must be the strategy of the Gar family for a long time to grow and develop both ways, so forming an alliance with it can indeed ensure the stability of the Hexi land in the future."

Having said so many words, some of my heart was beating short of breath, and Cen Wenwen gasped for breath.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said worriedly: "Zhongshuling is weak, and he still needs to recover well, so speak slowly, speak slowly."

Cen Wenwen panted for a while, took another sip of tea and pressed it down, and then calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "The minister is getting old, and it will be difficult to share state affairs for the king and perform his duties loyally as before. If His Majesty wins and returns to court, the veteran will have to beg for his bones and return to his hometown."

In fact, among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Cen Wenwen's position was the clearest and firmest.There is no prominent family behind him. Although the Dengyang Cen family has been an official for generations, but there is not much shadow left behind.

If it weren't for the fact that he was old, frail and sick in the past two years, he would have followed Liaodong in this Eastern Expedition.

His body was gradually weakening and his energy was unsustainable, so Cen Wenwen had already given birth to the desire to serve as an official. However, it was the time when the empire was at a critical moment, and he was a veteran who did not dare to retire lightly, so he used his spare energy to stand up for the last post ...

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and said, "As Zhong Shuling said, forming an alliance with the Gar family is indeed a good way to ensure the stability of Hexi in the short term. The commercial exchanges between Tang and Tubo were definitely inappropriate. As we all know, because of highland barley wine, Tubo is in urgent need of a large amount of grain. If the road of grain transportation passes through the territory of the Gar family, it will definitely make the logical The Tubo nobles in these cities were worried, lest the Gar family would arbitrarily cut off their food trade routes. Songtsan Gampo is an outstanding man of his generation, with a great talent, how can he sit back and watch his lifeblood be held in the hands of others? I am afraid that once the discussion field is established , Tubo will send troops straight out of Qinghai Lake, and then threaten Hexi."

Although he is an alliance with Fang Junnai, it doesn't mean that Xiao Yu has to go along with Fang Jun's suggestion blindly, because the two sides have different positions, belong to different forces, and have different interests.

Originally, the trade between the "Eastern Datang Company" and Tubo took the ancient road from central Shu to Tibet. However, Central Shu had always been closely connected with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was extremely hostile to the Guanlong clan. This made the trade with Tubo difficult. , the interests of the Jiangnan gentry are enormous.

However, once they cross the Qilian Mountains from Hexi and pass through Qinghai Lake to enter Tibet, the entire road will be completely controlled by the Guanlongmen Clan.However, the Guanlongmen faction is currently being suppressed, and they do not have enough strength to complete the huge trade between the two countries. The Shandong family must benefit.

How could Xiao Yu, as the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, sit back and watch the benefits that were originally held in his hands be snatched by the Shandong family?

Therefore, in any era, the formulation and implementation of each policy is by no means as simple as conforming to the trend of the times and the development of the times. Instead, it is necessary to consider the interests of many aspects, and to achieve a balance and compromise on this basis before it can be implemented.

Like the many reforms in history, are the princes and princes in the court all stupid and stubborn, ignorant of current affairs, unable to see the disadvantages of the past, let alone the advantages of the New Deal?

No.

Among the billions of people in the world, who can climb to the center of the court and control the operation of the empire, which one is not a human being?However, it is precisely this group of people who have obstructed the implementation of the New Deal time and time again, embracing the old system and refusing to make the slightest change.

Why?interest ear.

In the early days of the dynasty, the entire social class underwent tremendous changes. This is the best time to implement the New Deal. The interests of the emperor are almost the same as those of the powerful and the gentry. Therefore, during this period, the society is often stable and enterprising. If you meet a person who is diligent in government affairs The emperor, the prosperity can be bullied.

However, with the stabilization of the class, the division of interests also tends to be stable. At this time, if anyone wants to change the social structure and the operation of the country in the past, he will inevitably touch those part of the vested interests, and these vested interests must be the people of the society at that time. How can the most stalwart force all suffer from the surging backlash?
In the end, not to mention the implementers of the New Deal, even the emperors who are high above the world will feel that the throne is unstable, so how can it continue to be implemented?

The current situation is also the same, Xiao Yu and Fang Jun are allies, but Fang Jun's suggestion harms the interests of the Jiangnan gentry, so Xiao Yu must stand up to oppose it and safeguard the interests of the Jiangnan gentry.

Therefore, not only is there no such thing as good and evil, right and wrong in the court, but even the position is not constant. The only force that controls all these is profit.

Li Chengqian naturally understands these principles, so he didn't argue with Xiao Yu, but nodded and said: "This matter is very important, at the next meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, let the ministers discuss it before making a conclusion."

Xiao Yu didn't expect the crown prince to stand on his side, it would be the biggest concession without Gan Gang arbitrarily refuting his opinion, so he nodded and said: "Old minister obeys the order."

Liu Ji also said: "It should be so."

He is a fan of Fang Jun, and he can favor Fang Jun to hate Xiao Yu, but he will not easily get involved in the conflict of interests between the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry.

That's too dangerous, if something goes wrong, let alone Fang Jun, even the crown prince can't keep him.

The competition for interests between the powerful factions often does not see blood, but it is the most violent and cruel, and there is no place to die if you are not careful...

……

Tai Chi Palace.

In Princess Jinyang's bedroom, Princess Changle was wearing a blue Taoist robe to cover her slender figure, kneeling behind the coffee table, looking at Princess Jinyang on the side with a speechless face...

I saw the little princess wearing a Hu suit with a round collar and arrow sleeves, her head full of black hair tied into a man's bun, fixed with a hairpin, standing in front of the wall with her hands behind her back.

The original map of ladies drawn by Yan Liben on the wall has long been removed, and replaced with a map of Hexi counties. At the bottom left of the map, the location of Dadouba Valley is outlined with a red brush, and even marked The route of the Tuyuhun army and the defensive positions set up by the Tang army...

I could only hear Princess Jinyang shaking her head and saying with emotion: "Brother-in-law is really the god of war in this world! Enemies that are several times stronger than me, and they are all elite cavalry, the overwhelming power of charging is enough to make mountains fall apart, but brother-in-law is still defeated." It depends on a battle, throwing away your helmet and armor and running away in embarrassment... Tsk tsk tsk, it's really amazing!"

The incomparably beautiful face is full of admiration and admiration, and the two eyes like autumn water are about to pop out little stars...

Princess Changle had a black line on her face, and said slightly annoyed: "Why are you crazy, girl? If the concubines in the palace know that you are hanging a map in the bedroom, and if you speak and look like this, it will definitely spread. When the censors outside learned that, they had to join forces and impeach him!"

She is a princess of the royal family, and Yunying is still unmarried and waiting in her boudoir. It is not appropriate to hang a map in the palace, and worshiping a foreign minister like this, where is the royal family's face?
Originally, there was a lot of gossip between this girl and Fang Jun, and if there is another disturbance, I am afraid that they will not be able to get married.

no one dares to marry...
