Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3656 Crisis lurks
Hearing that Changsun Wuji had dispatched an elite iron cavalry to kill Fang Jun on the ancient road of Shangyu, everyone in the hall was worried.The differences come from interests, but in the same way, the existence of Fang Jun is the guarantee of the best interests of the East Palace. Once Fang Jun dies, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xuanwu Sect will not collapse, but their combat power will also be greatly reduced, morale will be low, and the military will not be motivated. Steady, especially the [-] Tubo horsemen led by Zan Po are afraid that they will leave, which will undoubtedly greatly weaken the power of the East Palace.

It may even cause the situation of the battle to change sharply, and even Guan Long wins in one fell swoop, and the East Palace is in a state of doom...

Xiao Yu secretly regretted in his heart. At first, he only wanted to let Fang Jun go and control the power of the peace talks. Now that the peace talks have just started, the two sides have not yet reached any meaningful negotiations, so he was in such a dangerous situation.If Fang Jun died because of this, he would regret it beyond his time.

Ma Zhou's thinking was more agile, and he worried: "Erlang's anger must be reported. If it wasn't for the fact that the Duke of Zhao sent troops to harass the Fangfu and put the Fang family's daughters in danger, Erlang might not have killed the eldest grandson Anye. The reason why he did this is because It is intended to destroy the alliance that Guan Long and the British public may reach, and also to avenge the revenge of the day. Now whether Erlang is dead or alive, the hatred between the two families is like an ocean, and it is not easy to negotiate peace."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he also came to his senses, and felt more and more regretful.

It is conceivable that now the eldest grandson Anye was killed in a different place and was brutally killed. With the character of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if Fang Jun was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely add provisions on how to deal with Fang Jun during the peace talks, and even asking the prince to behead Fang Jun is not enough. strange.

After all, the revenge of killing the younger brother is the same as Xiaoke?

But Fang Jun is the mainstay of the Eastern Palace, and the Crown Prince has a lot of trust in him and leans on him as an arm, so why would he be willing to cut his arm for peace talks?
In this way, whether Fang Jun is alive or dead, the peace talks will inevitably reach a deadlock...

This is nothing short of bad news for Xiao Yu, who is determined to facilitate peace talks and successfully capture the merits of countless soldiers who died in battle.

Xiao Yu felt remorse and hatred in his heart: this stick really can cause trouble, but this time he was so daring, even a hundred miles away from Chang'an, he was able to cause such a calamity, making all the countermeasures he planned for the night of the peace talks impossible. come in handy...

Li Chengqian is not too worried about the success or failure of the peace talks, he is more concerned about Fang Jun's life and death.

Yu Gong, Fang Jun is the only commander of the East Palace, and his subordinates are all brave soldiers who are not afraid of death. They have repeatedly damaged Guanlong. His prestige and ability are excellent. .

Yu Si, Fang Jun has a deep relationship with him, and is the most determined official in the East Palace among the court and the opposition, and spares no effort to support him...

He said to Li Junxian, "Have you ever sent a 'Hundred Riders' expert to Shangyu Ancient Road to respond?"

Li Junxian said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Wei Chen got the news and dispatched a thousand elites to Lantian Pass as soon as possible. As long as the Duke of Yue can escape the disaster last night, he will be able to provide timely support."

He understands that Fang Jun is too important to the East Palace, no matter what, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death, so that His Royal Highness the Prince can immediately formulate countermeasures so as not to delay the fighter.

At this time, the attendant outside the door entered Nei Tongbing, saying that it was the Duke of Ying, the scribe, and came to see the prince.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Summon."

When the chamberlain went out, he said to Xiao Yu and the others, "It's a good thing for Guan Long to appoint Duke Ying to be in charge of the peace talks. Duke Ying is gentle and gentle, and has a soft personality. Aggressive."

In fact, the current situation between Donggong and Guanlong is not as obvious as it seems on the surface. Although Guanlong has advantages in terms of situation, troops, support, etc., the occupation of Taiji Palace is now deadlocked, and both sides are anxious. , The battle is endless, and the daily casualties of the Guanlong army are several times the rate of Donggong Liu, and no amount of troops can withstand such consumption.

Therefore, peace talks are what both parties need.

Before Guan Long had an absolute advantage, he naturally couldn't send a powerful person to come to negotiate, otherwise the Crown Prince would have to break up and refuse to talk in a fit of rage.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how gentle and elegant it is, it also represents Guan Long's interests. This time, I am afraid that I will have trouble with the eldest grandson Anye."

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "In trouble? They had better pray that Fang Jun is safe, otherwise Fang Jun's army will never die! In the end, even if Guan Long can defeat Fang Jun's army, he will have to pay a lot. A heavy price. Want to seize the interests of the world and restore the glory of the early years of Zhenguan? Hmph, a dream!"

Together with Li Chengqian, they were silent.

Whether it was the Youtun Guard or the Navy Division, the former was reformed by Fang Jun, and the military system of the government was changed to a recruiting system.Moreover, Fang Jun led this army to fight in the south and the north, in the east and west, and made unparalleled achievements one after another, and his prestige in the army was unparalleled.

The latter was created by Fang Jun from scratch, and all the sailors were Fang Jun's confidants and obeyed his orders.

Once Fang Jun was intercepted and killed by Guan Long, the two direct-line troops were bound to share the enemy and try their best to avenge Fang Jun.

With the current weight and prestige of the East Palace, it can't be suppressed... Besides, even if it can be suppressed, will Li Chengqian suppress it?

At that time, even if Guan Long really succeeded in the mutiny and seized the political power, the two elite armies, one inside and one outside, would support each other. Guan Long would have to pay five times or even ten times the loss if he wanted to destroy the Youtun Guards. Overseas, across the sea and borders, on the sea is simply an invincible existence, and there is absolutely no army in the world that can defeat it on the sea.

There is no way to get the navy, so I can only watch the navy block the Datang sea frontier, and Pianfan cannot go into the sea!
There is the disaster of Youtunwei inside and the rebellion of the navy outside. Guanlong will be in a dilemma between one and the other. After the great loss of strength, he will completely break with the gates in Shandong and Jiangnan due to the severance of sea trade. He wants to keep the court. Profits are hard to come by.

And the huge benefits of sea trade are very likely to make the Shandong family and the Jiangnan gentry completely separate from the Guanlong clan.

……

Yuwen Shi, who was dressed in a green robe and had a clear face, walked into the hall, came to Li Chengqian, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully, "We have an audience with Your Highness."

With a warm smile on his face, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to help him: "You don't need to be too polite, please take a seat."

Yuwen Shiji got up and greeted Xiao Yu, Li Jing, Ma Zhou and others, and they all returned their salutes. Then Yuwen Shiji sat on Li Chengqian's right hand and said with a smile: "The weather has turned warm recently and the ice and snow have melted, otherwise these Going back and forth every day, this old bone really can't stand it."

Since the start of the peace talks, Shuangfang has continued to test, although they have not really started to negotiate on certain matters, but the hard work is not easy at all.His remarks actually reminded Li Chengqian that the beginning of spring is coming, and the spring ploughing is imminent. Guan Long can ignore the life and death of the people on the [-]-mile Qinchuan, but you, as the prince, cannot ignore it.

Let’s hurry up and hold substantive peace talks, everyone negotiates the conditions, each takes a step back, and the most important thing is to restore order in the court...

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, his face indifferent: "I am alone in this inner door, held by the front and rear high walls, like a prison, dark and cramped all day long, the cold wind blows, the hands and feet are cold at night, and it is difficult to sleep, but I don't know that the spring has fallen. ."

Yuwen Shiji: "..."

The crown prince of the dignified country and the crown prince of the East Palace couldn't live without the splendid and beautiful East Palace, so he had to run into this dark and cramped inner gate.There was no obvious resentment, but it made Yuwen Shihe extremely embarrassed.

In the final analysis, Guan Long is a minister, and Li Chengqian is the king. Using a minister to deceive the king and commit a crime from the following goes against the value system of China since ancient times, and is destined to lose his status and morality.

If it were normal, Yuwen Shi would probably be ashamed to say that the minister was guilty. However, at this time, he bears the heavy responsibility of the peace talks, and naturally he cannot be left behind. Otherwise, he will be restrained everywhere during the later peace talks, and he can only retreat again and again. retreat.

He quickly changed the subject, sighed softly, and said, "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince has heard about the matter of the eldest grandson?"

Li Chengqian thought about it, Donggong and Guan Long are also at the peak of the imperial power class, and they are naturally deeply entangled with each other, and it is difficult to separate them. The eyeliner about Long in the Donggong must also have the eyes and ears of the Donggong on the other side of Guanlong. It is extremely difficult for the information to be completely concealed from the other party. It is common for the other party to detect it, so there is no need to conceal it.
