Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3216 Private Conspiracy
In the flower hall across the courtyard, Wei Ting and Li Yuanjing sat facing each other.

When Wei Ting asked "how to take the initiative to attack", Li Yuanjing smiled, but his heart was ecstatic.

He suppressed his excitement, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness probably thinks that the stability of the court is the most important thing. Since the so-called collusion with the enemy and treason and the murder of Fang Jun have not yet happened, then he will bear it and give the Wei family a white silk." , to declare his benevolent character to the outside world, and will not pursue this matter any more. What do you think, brother?"

Wei Ting silently nodded.

He didn't believe in Li Yuanjing's character, but he agreed with analyzing the prince's motives in this way.

Li Yuanjing added a glass of wine to Wei Ting, and the two raised their glasses together and took a sip. He continued: "No one is a fool who can see through these things in the officialdom. Even if the crown prince will punish the Wei family in the future, But the prince must also understand in his heart that the Wei family was only tricked once, and the real mastermind is someone else."

He paused, and said with a smile: "Brother, if something unexpected happened to Fang Er in the Western Regions right now, such as the trace of the march was detected by a big cannibal, and thus an ambush was set up in advance, causing Fang Er to be deeply surrounded and unable to recover... then Guess, who will His Royal Highness think this was done?"

Wei Ting's heart skipped a beat.

He forced Changsun's family to commit suicide. Although this move seemed to the outside world as a way to survive, it also made it clear to the prince that the Wei family would not do those dirty things.And the prince gave the white silk, which also expressed the prince's meaning: Gu knew that the Wei family was wronged in this matter.

Indeed, he thinks that the prince will not pretend that nothing happened from now on. When the prince ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate and pour out today's anger. The future of the Wei family is in danger.

But the prince must understand that the planning behind the whole incident came from the eldest grandson's family, so if something really happened to Fang Jun at this moment, the first suspect would be the eldest grandson's family.

but……

He thought for a while, then sighed: "Since this matter has already caused waves, how can His Royal Highness not inform Fang Jun and make him be careful and guard against being plotted by others? Even if we have such intentions, I am afraid that there will be no more Chance."

Wei Ting has absolutely no burden for the guy to give Fang Jun a hard time for the eldest grandson Jiashun.What the eldest grandson's family did made him hate it deeply, and he would not hesitate to go if he had the opportunity. As for Fang Jun, he almost trampled on the Wei family's face and humiliated him before. Grudge?
And he didn't think there was anything wrong with cooperating with Li Yuanjing.

It's not a conspiracy to rebel, it's just that the two parties have a common will against Fang Jun, so there is nothing to worry about.

Li Yuanjing didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice with a "hey", "Now not only the virtuous brother thinks so, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks so, I'm afraid Fang Jun himself thinks so..."

Imperial court struggles and conspiracies and calculations have long been commonplace for the elites of the high-level empire. A book of "36 Strategies" has been memorized backwards, and various historical books have been thoroughly studied. How can there be any new tricks?At this level, no one is foolish enough to wait for others to trick him without knowing it. Only "negligence" will cause the horse to stumble.

Pushing it backwards, when everyone thinks something is impossible, it is actually the time when the success rate is the highest...

With clear eyes, Wei Ting cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, Your Highness will be here!"

Although Jingzhao Webster has a strong foundation, he has no connections in the army. Even if there are a few children in the army, they are just low-level roles, and it is difficult to participate in the calculation of Fang Jun. You can only rely on Li Yuanjing.

Naturally, he would not ask Li Yuanjing if he would like to do this. Since he could use this kind of "stoking dissension" strategy in front of him, he must be willing to do so.

But Li Yuanjing shook his head and said: "This king has never interfered in military affairs, I am afraid that such matters are out of his will... However, Duke Qiao has always admired his virtuous brother, but he has not been able to make the relationship go further. You might as well wait until Duke Qiao comes to express his condolences tomorrow." At that time, we sat together and discussed in detail."

Wei Ting frowned, and pondered: "This..."

He felt something was wrong.

No one else knows how I and Li Yuanjing planned in private. Of course, I must pay some benefits afterwards, but as long as I insist that I have nothing to do with it, even if His Majesty Li Er returns to Chang'an to be furious, there is nothing he can do about it. .

But if Chai Zhewei was involved, the nature would be completely different.

Before, it could be said that it was just out of anger that they wanted to frame Fang Jun and blame the eldest grandson's family, but once Chai Zhewei was involved, a prince, a powerful family member, and a general in command... This would become a gang properly.

Becoming a gang is the next thing, and Li Yuanjing's ambition Wei Ting can be regarded as a little touched. If this person is not willing to be reconciled with the status of a prince in the future, and intends to go further... Will Jingzhao Weiss be regarded as tied to him by the outside world because of this? one place?
Li Yuanjing's eyes flickered, and seeing Wei Ting's hesitant expression, he smiled and said: "This matter is all up to my virtuous brother to make up his own mind. In fact, although this king is very dissatisfied with Fang Jun, it is not enough to let him go." At the point of death, this move is all for the sake of my virtuous brother...Of course, after today, this matter will only be calculated by my virtuous brother and Qiao Guogong. related."

When he said this, Wei Ting became more at ease, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness cannot be trusted, it's really a big matter, so we have to be careful."

Li Yuanjing waved his hand and said: "Naturally, we should be cautious about this kind of thing, otherwise, if a little news leaks out, who can bear it? So this matter is over, I will accompany my brother to have a few drinks to dispel the sadness in my heart."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Haha! You and I are like brothers and sisters. It's polite to talk like this."

……

The next day, the Wei family became more and more crowded. Almost half of the dignitaries and meritorious relatives in Chang'an came to express their condolences.

Chai Zhewei, the Duke of Qiao, came here during the day, and offered incense in front of the mourning hall. Seeing the crowd, he took his leave and left, and only visited again after Youshi.

Wei Ting invited Chai Zhewei into the study room of the inner house, and asked them to prepare some delicate dishes, a pot of fine wine, and sit and chat with each other...

*****
By the Yalu water, thunder rumbled.

Countless Tang troops flocked to Bobao City like a rising tide. The gunpowder was buried under the city wall and immediately ignited. The rumbling roar blew up the city wall piece by piece. There are only sections of ruins left.

It's just that the Goguryeo army did not abandon the city and surrender, but launched a counterattack on the spot, relying on the city wall to stop the Tang army from advancing.

What I have to say is that the two battles in Anshicheng and Bobacheng made the Tang army see the strength of Goguryeo's elite army. Encountered tyrannical resistance.

Ashi Nasimo sat on horseback with a helmet on his back, holding a horizontal handle in his hand, staring at the collapsed city of Boba with piercing eyes, constantly urging his soldiers to launch wave after wave of onslaughts. Talk about casualties, gains and losses, and strive to enter the city as soon as possible, wipe out the Goguryeo defenders, open up the ferry, and assist the army to cross the Yalu River.

A lieutenant beside him was an old subordinate of the Turkic tribe. At this moment, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Patriarch, take it easy! The Goguryeo people resist very fiercely, and the stronger the attack, the greater the backlash they will suffer. Slow down the offensive for a while, and the Goguryeo people will retreat into the city and hide in the city, and when the time comes, the army will calmly surround them, and the enemy will be unable to fly!"

Seeing the soldiers bravely vying to be the first to tremble with the enemy, the casualties increased sharply, and these elite soldiers were all old soldiers who followed Ashina Simo to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and all of them were Turkic elites. All are irreparable losses.

But Ashina Simo was unmoved, and said sharply: "Presumptuous! In front of the battle, the two armies should fight like a tiger. How can they slow down and let the tiger go back to the mountain? If you dare to disturb the morale of the army like this, I will definitely not kill it." Forgive me! Come here, send orders to strengthen the offensive, before dark today, we must break into the city and get through the ferry!"

"Here!"

The soldiers around him immediately held the command flag and went to the army to deliver the military order.

Ashina Simo looked stern, looked at the desperate soldiers in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

How would he want to lose these old subordinates who have followed him for many years here?However, these days, he has been pondering over the words Xue Wanche said to him, "When you enjoy yourself, you are unscrupulous, and when you fight, you don't care about yourself." This is indeed the way for a general to survive...

His Majesty Li Er reused him not because of his loyal Turkic soldiers, but because of his status as a Turkic nobleman.

As long as he is alive, there is still value for use, and the glory and wealth are naturally indispensable.

On the other hand, if you have a strong army under your command, and all the soldiers are loyal and loyal, that is the way to your own destruction——You are a surrendered general, possessing such a powerful force, and acting cautiously and tactfully... What do you want?
