Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3551 Mind

Cen Wenwen disdained Xiao Yu's desire for power at this critical moment and ignored it at first, but Xiao Yu can come to test him today, and he can win over others tomorrow, and there will eventually be someone in the face of power. Lost in judgment, resulting in cracks in the monolithic Donggong camp.

Taking a sip of tea slowly, Cen Wenwen shook his head and said, "Glory to meritorious service, power and wealth, and what people want, you and I are no exception."

This statement is a bit straightforward, although it is true, but Xiao Yu sounded a bit harsh, and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Cen Wenwen: "But Shiwen, you should also understand that there are certainly people who flatter and flatter people in this world. Cun Gong is in a high position, but is Fang Jun that kind of person?"

Xiao Yu was silent.

Cen Wenwen continued: "Guan Long raised his troops suddenly, and his plot was wrong. His troops instantly covered Guanzhong, and Chang'an was besieged inside and outside. His Royal Highness had to retreat into the Taiji Palace. The Long rebel army besieged the imperial city for more than two months, all the prefectures and counties in the world waited and watched, and refused to reinforce a single soldier, under such a critical situation, the imperial city is still as solid as gold, Shi Wen, what do you think is the reason?"

Xiao Yu continued to remain silent. Although he had never led an army, he had read a lot of military books in his life. He had a deep understanding of military affairs, so he naturally understood the key to the situation where the rebels in Guanlong were encircled but not broken.

Although Cen Wenwen was asking a question, he didn't wait for Xiao Yu's answer, and said to himself: "The reason for the current stalemate is that Guan Long didn't dare to fight hard. An explosion in the casting bureau wiped out tens of thousands of Guan Long's elite. The ashes were wiped out, which not only damaged its main force, but also suffered a huge blow to its morale. Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the right guard guard was the gate, and no one could open it. Destroyed, now Xuanwumen, the weakness of the Taiji Palace, has instead become a rock-solid place, even Changsun Wuji sighed and sighed, in vain."

This is the reason why Guan Long did not dare to attack the imperial city with all his strength. Once the desperate attack fails, he may be taken by the right guards, which will lead to a sudden reversal of the good situation.

Xiao Yu understood what Cen Wenwen meant, smiled wryly, and shook his head: "There is another point, it is Changsun Wuji's scruples about Fang Jun. Although Fang Jun is in the Western Regions, fighting endlessly with big cannibals, what if Fang Jun doesn't care about it?" Even if the Western Regions fell, he would have to lead troops to help Chang'an. With the half he took away, he could defeat the tens of thousands of fine cavalry in Tuyuhun, wipe out Dashi, and the Youtunwei of the Turkic coalition forces, plus the elite Anxi army and Guanlong army. There is absolutely no chance of winning. Of course, there are His Royal Highnesses, Fang Jun, who is not allowed to rush to help Chang'an, but who knows what Fang Jun thinks? Changsun Wuji dare not gamble."

It doesn't matter if the Foundry Bureau killed more than ten thousand Guanlong elites, the right guard guarding the Xuanwu Gate was as impenetrable as gold, or even directly restrained Changsun Wuji from attacking the imperial city with all his strength...Everything, there are people standing behind him. hansome.

It can be said that although Fang Jun is not in Chang'an, he still controls the battle situation in Chang'an like a pinnacle of calming the sea.

Under such circumstances, once the East Palace turns defeat into victory, and Fang Jun is removed from the main contributor, who will fight for the front?
Cen Wenwen said slowly: "Right, wealth and honor are what I want, but the overall situation should be the most important. Even if the children of each family feel unhappy, they should be enlightened. Those who are stubborn will either be punished or fired! At such a juncture of overturning and extinction, if the East Palace is full of rifts, how can we talk about turning defeat into victory? When the big ship of the East Palace is silent, even if you and I are safe, the children of the clan will not have a bright future in 30 years."

He couldn't believe it, how could such a scheming master like Xiao Yu, who had been in the court all his life, have such thoughts at this moment?Right now, the East Palace is struggling to support it all because of Fang Jun's internal and external arrangements and checks and balances. If it breaks with it at this time, who can please it?

Furthermore, the Lanling Xiao family and Fang Jun are relatives by marriage. Although the Xiao family daughter married into the Fang family as a concubine, but the main wife is Princess Gaoyang, so it is not wronged her.Besides, I heard that Fang Jun dotes on the Xiao family daughter very much, and her status is only slightly lower than Princess Gaoyang, not below Wu Meiniang, and even slightly higher than that Princess Silla.

Fang Jun made great achievements, and in the future he will become a giant in the court and take charge of the military and political power. It will only benefit the Xiao family and not harm it. Could it be that you, Xiao Yu, are in their seventies and eighty, and still want to further dominate the world?
If you talk about supporting the children of the clan, that's even more pointless. You don't know what kind of virtues those crooked melons and jujubes of your Xiao family have?To put it bluntly, my family, Cen Changqian, is enough to overwhelm all the children of the Xiao family...

It was inexplicable.

Xiao Yu looked a little embarrassed, although Cen Wenwen spoke slowly and politely, but he must be thinking of pointing at his nose and cursing: Are you Xiao Yu confused?

This made Xiao Yu very helpless, how could he not know that Fang Jun's position was already unshakable, let alone unshakable?

however……

Forget it, among the servants of the Eastern Palace, only Cen Wenwen can still win over. The rest, such as Li Daozong, Ma Zhou, Li Jing, etc., have a deep bond with Fang Jun, and they will never part ways with Fang Jun. If he goes to win over , but was challenged.

After taking a sip of tea, he found that the tea was already lukewarm. He lost all interest and said tiredly, "These days have really exhausted all my efforts, and I can't get any energy up. I'm going to take a nap. Brother Jing Ren is in poor health. It is to pay attention to rest."

Cen Wenwen nodded and said: "This old bone is coming to an end, but it cannot be restored by manpower, so let nature take its course."

Xiao Yu got up, bowed and saluted, then left the room and returned to her own living room to rest.

Cen Wenwen stayed in the room alone, and asked someone to make a pot of tea again. He drank the tea and stared blankly at the sparse snowflakes outside the window, with a heavy heart.

On that day, there was a loud noise from the foundry bureau, and more than ten thousand Guanlong troops were wiped out. Cen Changqian was also dead, and there was no news of him.

Thinking that this nephew, who was smart, decisive and capable since he was a child, might have already been turned into powder, Cen Wenwen felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

In my life, except for the first 30 years of ambition and ambition, the rest of the years are more about planning for the future generations.Life is nothing more than dozens of cold and heat, except for the babbling childhood and the senile old age, how many years can you have when you are full of energy?However, the continuation of the blood from generation to generation gives life another layer of meaning.

The ultimate sadness in the world is when a white-haired man gives away a black-haired man, watching helplessly as the heir dies, and after a lifetime of hard work, there is not even a single heir, and everything is in vain...

*****
Yuwen's house.

Although it was snowing all over the world, the servants were very diligent and cleaned up the snow that fell on the ground. The corridors and stone roads in the mansion were extremely clean.

In the cross courtyard on one side of the main hall, a large flower house was built.

Since the technology of firing glass has become better and better, and the glass produced has become larger and more translucent, this expensive material has already entered the homes of the rich and powerful, replacing the paper that had to be pasted every winter for thousands of years. Window paper makes the house with carved beams and painted buildings brighter.

In particular, the flower house in Fangfu, which transplanted many green plants from the south of the Yangtze River, has become the object of competition and admiration. Now if any family in Chang'an City does not build such a glass flower house and plant a few precious green plants, they will all be praised. I'm ashamed to call myself a wealthy family...

There are earth dragons burning in the ground floor of the flower house, and the surrounding walls and dome are sealed with double layers of glass, which not only completely isolates the cold air, but also avoids the disadvantage of glass being easy to cold and heat to the greatest extent, and the temperature insulation effect is more obvious.

Nuoda’s greenhouse is full of green plants. Just after watering, the leaves are green and the flowers are bright. Set a tea table among the flower trees, fry a few side dishes, warm a pot of good wine, and invite a friend to drink among the flowers It is indeed a good enjoyment to wash away the vulgarity of the world.

At this moment, Yuwen Shiji sat opposite Dugu Lan and had a drink.

Dugu Lan drank the wine in his glass, pointed to a purple peony beside him, and praised: "There are many flowers and trees here, all of which are treasures in the world, but this peony is the only one that can be called the first."

Yuwen Shiji looked at his fingers, smiled and nodded.

This is a "Peony Red". At the moment when peonies are popular in the world, and the thicker the color, the more precious it is. Such a treasure with rich color and crystal clear leaves is rare even in the royal family. Putting it outside can be worth hundreds of gold.

Dugu Lan looked at it in amazement, then sighed, and said: "It's a pity that the greenhouse like this is delicate and beautiful, but it can't withstand the slightest wind and rain. If it is moved outside at this moment, it will be frozen like frost in an instant, and the cold wind will break it." However, we only saw its beauty, but we never thought that once the snowstorm came suddenly, it would be difficult for the greenhouse to withstand the severe cold, and no matter how many earth dragons were burned, the disaster of ice and snow could not be cured.”

Yuwen Shiji held the wine glass in his hand, and frowned slightly, there was something in these words...
