Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3684 The battle for candidates

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, and asked, "Why not?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness Mingjian, the former Fan Erlang rushed to Luoyang and went to the British public office to lobby, but he killed Zhangsun Anye without authorization halfway through, making Zhangsun Wuji hate Donggong to the bone and almost terminating the peace talks, which is already a big inappropriate. If he still goes to Tongguan this time, and if he encounters a lobbyist from Guan Long who went to the British public, it is impossible to slash the person again, the peace talks will completely collapse, and there will be no hope of restarting... I hope your highness Think twice, choose another worthy person, and definitely can't let this fellow go again."

He was well aware of Fang Jun's decisive and daring character. Since he had made up his mind to sabotage the peace talks, what could be more direct than beheading Guan Long's envoy to the British office?If Fang Jun goes to the British public office this time, not only will he encounter Guanlong's envoy and be executed halfway here, this fellow will even squat near Chang'an, as long as he sees someone coming and going from Guanlong, he will be punished. Intercept...

Fang Jun was furious: "The old man deceives people too much! Am I that kind of person who doesn't know the importance?"

Xiao Yu was not angry, but nodded repeatedly and said, "You are!"

Fang Jun: "..."

motherfucker!

This old guy actually questioned my character?It is bearable, and it is unbearable!

When Li Chengqian saw that the two were quarreling, he had a headache and quickly tried to persuade them: "Erlang, don't be impatient! Song Guogong is the founding minister of the country, and he is also your elder, so he must be respectful. , don't be fooled! The most important thing at the moment is naturally to protect the country's Zhengshuo, other than that, everything can be put down. As long as the empire is not lost, we will have time to realize our grand ambitions. Goujian, Han Xin Humiliation under the crotch, forbearance for a while, what's the harm?"

He was also unwilling to negotiate with him, but the dignified imperial prince finally wanted to turn the rebels into jade and silk, and he was just bored.
However, if he expresses his mind freely and rejoices in his grievances, the outcome is likely to be the complete destruction of the Eastern Palace, the fall of the Empire, and the Emperor's position being stolen by the scumbags.

For more than ten years, the glorious and prosperous world that the father emperor had spent sleeping at night and working hard to manage will surely plummet and never return.

Compared to that, what's the point of making him kneel, not to mention humbly negotiating with the rebels?As long as you can keep the storage position, you will be able to successfully ascend the throne soon. At that time, there are Li Jing, Fang Jun, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou and other virtuous ministers, why worry about the great cause?

It is not impossible to not only continue the prosperous times of the father and emperor's zhengguan, but also to make further progress.

From ancient times to the present, in the history books, heroes are only judged by success or failure. The father emperor "killed his brother and killed his younger brother, forcing his father to abdicate", and he was able to gain the support and love of the people all over the world.
Fang Jun restrained his anger and nodded silently.

Xiao Yu was relieved to see Fang Jun's clothes softened, but at the same time, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The crown prince was indeed inclined to yell at Fang Jun himself, but his expression was as if his own children were arguing and fighting with other people's children, and naturally reprimanded their own children...

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Since Erlang is not suitable for lobbying the Duke of England, who does Duke Song think is suitable?"

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and was silent.

The position and qualifications of this person who go to lobby must be high enough, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress Li Ji, and he is eloquent and quick-witted, so that he can understand it with affection and reason, otherwise he will not be able to impress Li Ji.And most importantly, this person must firmly support the peace talks, so that he can try his best to convince Li Ji, if he refuses to go all out, or even have a little resistance to the peace talks in his heart, it will be a bad thing.

It's just that in the East Palace, the military cannot be counted on. Almost all military generals belong to Li Jing and Fang Jun's command.

The rest of the civil servants are either under-qualified or lacking in ability and incompetent.

Looking at Cen Wenwen next to him, he was originally the most suitable candidate, with sufficient qualifications and excellent ability. However, this time to go to Tongguan, you still need to bypass the rebel defense area as last time, cross the Weishui River to Jingyang, and then cross the back edge of the Jingshui. Going down the Yellow River all the way to the south, cross the river again at the beginning of the Weishui confluence of the Yellow River before reaching Tongguan.This journey is high and long, and the journey is difficult. With Cen Wenwen's body, I am afraid that if the superior arrives at Tongguan, he will not be able to hold on...

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu's face was firm: "This time to Tongguan, let the old minister go. For the time being, let Brother Jing preside over the peace talks."

The matter of the peace talks is related to his status in the East Palace, and whether the Jiangnan gentry can keep their immediate interests in the future, and even go further, and there is absolutely no room for loss.If the peace talks fail, once the East Palace stands firm and successfully ascends the throne in the future, the right to speak will be seized by the military, which is absolutely intolerable.

When the Donggong was in danger, he never gave up, and even did not hesitate to draw a line with Guan Long to fully support the Donggong, didn't he just see that the Donggong could survive this crisis and successfully ascend the throne as emperor?

It would be really depressing if you persisted but ended up making wedding clothes for the military.

Therefore, even if he knew that he was going to Tongguan Mountain for the high road risk, he insisted on going in person, believing that he could impress Li Ji and set the overall situation.

Li Chengqian was silent, thinking about the pros and cons, and considering whether the trip could be done, Fang Jun had already sneered at the side: "The rebels in Guanzhong are everywhere, and the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, does Duke Song think that he is going to play in the mountains and waters? Guan Long must also send people to the front at this moment. Going to lobby the Duke of England, and the eldest grandson Wuji eats one cut and grows one's wisdom, he will definitely send a large army to set up checkpoints along the way, and strictly prevent the East Palace from going to Tongguan, and there will be murders at every turn... Song Guogong is willing to take odd risks for peace talks, putting life and death aside, and admires him. ."

Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "In times of crisis, as ministers, we should do our best to repay our service, regardless of life and death!"

Fang Jun retorted: "If it's really for His Royal Highness, then there is no room for admiration, but if you risk your life for the sake of mediocre interests, I don't know whether to praise you for your courage, or to praise you for killing birds?"

Xiao Yu was furious: "You are a stick, you are not a human being..."

"Two people, don't quarrel and hurt the peace," Li Chengqian quickly persuaded the fight again, and said with a headache: "At the moment of the enemy, the two of you are lonely humerus, and you should unite as one to maintain the good luck of the empire and the country. Can we quarrel with each other like this, making loved ones hurt and enemies happy?"

Xiao Yu glared at Fang Jun angrily, and said no more.

Fang Jun glanced at Xiao Yu with a sneer, and calmed down.

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Yu and said worriedly: "Erlang's words are vulgar, but his intentions are good. To go to Tongguan, not only do you have to pass through the rebels' defense zone, but the rebels may set up ambush along the way to stop them. Song Guogong is very old. It's been a long time, if anything goes wrong, I will be so lonely!"

In the East Palace, no one can replace Xiao Yu's position and role. He is still able to lead the civil servants to support the prince, but if he has an accident, Cen Wen himself alone will be difficult to support, and maybe the East Palace will usher in a battle Great crisis from within.

And this is also the reason why Li Chengqian allowed Xiao Yu to start peace talks. To a certain extent, Xiao Yu's personal interests and the interests of the East Palace as a whole complement each other.

Xiao Yu was slightly excited: "His Royal Highness's love, the old minister has nowhere to admire! It's just that there are many dangers at the moment, and there will be a disaster at every turn. Even if there is a risk, you should keep moving forward. It is limited, but there is still some face, and there is still some incense relationship with Guan Long, even if the rebels are extremely vicious, they may not kill the old minister."

He knew that Li Chengqian really cared about him, both public and private. He had to admit that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a benevolent person. If he succeeded in ascending the throne, he would also be a gracious prince, not only a blessing for his officials, but also a blessing for the common people. Enough to make him willing to run for it.

And if the rebels are allowed to depose the East Palace and support the King of Qi Li You or any prince to ascend to the throne, all the political power will be seized by Guan Long, and the imperial power will be weakened, which will inevitably lead to rampant officials and political ups and downs, and it is not only Jiangnan who will be affected. The nobility will spread to the whole world.

No matter from any point of view, he must keep the East Palace, keep the prince, even if he wants to bow down to the Guanlong clan, even if he wants to be worthy of a lifetime of pride, he will not hesitate.

On the other hand, Fang Jun's ordinary man only knows how to express his mind and act arbitrarily. He doesn't know the need to turn around and bow his head. Going straight is like... a club!
