Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3701 The situation is chaotic

Yuwen Shiji rode his horse and galloped along the way, but it was difficult to dispel the urgency in his heart.

The current situation is extremely dangerous. The most beneficial thing for the Guanlongmen Clan is to complete the peace talks with Donggong as soon as possible. If the overall situation is over, it is impossible for Li Ji to brazenly attack Chang'an at the risk of the world. At most, he will discuss with Donggong to give Li Ji More benefits, that's all.

The biggest beneficiary of the peace talks is the Guanlongmen faction, but the Changsun family is not among them.

This remonstrance was planned and implemented by the Changsun family alone, not only engulfing the entire Guanlong clan, but also coercing and luring the clans all over the world to participate, all under his single-handed control.It is conceivable that when the remonstrance is successful, not only Changsun Wuji will become the No. Consolidate the power and status of "the world's number one clan".

However, now being forced by the rest of the Guanlongmen Clan and the current situation, he has to give up the military advice and hold peace talks with the East Palace. In the end, the greatest interests will be seized by these Guanlongmen Clans. How can Changsun Wuji be reconciled?
Although peace talks are an irreversible trend, otherwise it is very likely to face the internal and external attacks of Donggong and Li Ji, but according to Changsun Wuji's character, it is entirely possible to provoke a big war to destroy the current situation of peace talks, and then regain the dominance and push forward again Alas.

With Changsun Wuji's vicious and decisive character, this is completely possible...

Therefore, Yuwen Shiji was very anxious. He neither wanted to persuade Li Ji to succeed at this time, so that all the efforts of the Guanlongmen Clan would go to waste, nor did he want the peace talks to be disrupted, and the situation was once again in the hands of Changsun Wuji.We must return to Chang'an as soon as possible, take control of the overall situation, and promote the completion of the peace talks as soon as possible.

He traveled all night, only stopping to drink water and eat on the way, and finally arrived at Baqiao, but he was so frightened by the roaring cannons not far away and the gunfire shooting up into the sky that he almost fell off his horse.

A group of people stopped on the Baqiao and looked towards the north in horror. The deafening sound of fighting came over the sky, and the battlefield was full of blood and fire, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Sitting on the horseback, Yuwen Shi and his hands and feet were shaking, his heart was colder than the icy rain he encountered along the way. Just looking at the place where the battle broke out, he knew that the two sides participating in the battle were the troops stationed outside Tonghua Gate and the Youtun stationed in Daming Palace. guard.

Sure enough, whatever they are most afraid of comes here. Although the peace talks between Guan Long and Donggong are going well, both sides have a pivotal task that is extremely contradictory to the peace talks, and that is Changsun Wuji and Fang Jun.

What Changsun Wuji was afraid of was that the position of Guanlong leader would be deprived from now on, and more interests would be seized by the rest of the Guanlong clan.Perhaps Fang Jun would rather live standing than die sitting, and would not bow his head to Guan Long. After all, in his eyes, Guan Long is a real "rebellion", or it may be because his status as the mainstay of the Eastern Palace has always been rejected. Rejected by the civil servants...

But in any case, these two people control the main forces of both sides, and there may even be a tacit understanding between them. Any reason can trigger a battle. Even if there is no reason, the other party will send one tacitly, thus completely destroying the peace talks. .

……

He didn't care about the casualties of this battle. No matter how many people died, he couldn't compare with the consequences of the collapse of the peace talks. Once the peace talks completely collapsed and there was no chance of recovery, Guan Long would probably face catastrophe.

After all, no one knows exactly what Li Ji's inclination is, and both sides have half the chance...

Yuwen Shi and his horse arrived at Chunming Gate, and the city guards hurriedly opened the gate to let him in.Then go straight west from the main street between Dongshi and Chongrenfang, pass through the Tianjie in front of Zhuquemen, and arrive at Yanshoufang.

When he reached the gate of the workshop, he dismounted from his horse, threw the reins to his servants, and quickly entered the workshop alone, arriving at the shop along the street that had been requisitioned as a temporary "handsome tent".

The news of the battle outside the city had already spread into the city, the civil servants and generals in Yanshoufang hurried to and fro, everyone looked dignified, and when they saw Yuwen scholars, they all avoided the side of the road and bowed and saluted.

Yu Wenshi and his gloomy face didn't even look at these people, but quickly came to the door, and he didn't report to the civil servants, so he raised his foot to enter.

Inside the listening room, Changsun Wuji was sitting in front of the table by the window, on which were piles of battle reports and documents, the Yuwen scholars rushed in angrily, without even saluting, and asked loudly: "The peace talks have reached a critical moment, Seeing that great things can be accomplished, why go to war with Youtunwei? Don’t you know that the auxiliary machine has almost pushed the peace talks to the point of collapse, and made our Guanlong families face the disaster of extinction?"

In the main hall outside the door, the busy civil servants were startled by Yuwen Shi and the menacing questioning. They all held their breath and kept silent, even walking on tiptoe, lest their noise would alarm the two big men in the side hall, and they would be angered and cause trouble... …

Changsun Wuji raised his head from the desk, glanced at the red-faced Yuwen Shiji, and told the servant standing at the door: "Close the door and keep watch outside."

"Here."

The servant turned around and closed the door, stood guard outside the door, and did not allow anyone to approach.

Only then did Changsun Wuji put down the brush, leaned back on the chair back, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup on the table, but did not let anyone serve tea to the Yuwen scholar who had returned from a long way...

Putting down the teacup, he said calmly: "I know what you think in your heart, you must think that I provoked the war this time with the intention of sabotaging the peace talks. I have no intention of arguing with you, and I don't care what you think, just say one thing, this matter It has nothing to do with me. If you think that I am someone who would rather draw Guanlong allies closer to the abyss than maintain my own interests, then that's okay. Go out from this door and take the Guanlong families who are willing to leave to your own future. East Palace It doesn't matter, Li Ji, wherever you go, from now on, I will have nothing to do with my eldest grandson Wuji, whether it is an enemy or a friend, and I will be in peace."

He is not without a temper, he planned this "remonstrance" by himself, and all the Guanlong clans benefited from it. Although the eldest grandson's family benefited the most, it was also the eldest grandson's family who rushed to the front and took the biggest risk. What's wrong with that? ?
As a result, when you saw that the situation was not good, you all joined together to start peace talks, kicked me aside, and now you are aggressively questioning me. You really think that this battle is up to me. If I say big, I will stop. ?
Simply deceiving!
Yuwen Shiji didn't expect Changsun Wuji to have such a big reaction, and even uttered the words of one beat and two breakups, which shows that he is really annoyed...

After all, it is the leader of Guanlong, who has accumulated a lot of power for so many years. Although he forbears his anger at this moment and has not erupted, he no longer restrains himself in his words, which makes Yuwen Shiji inevitably feel guilty.

In the final analysis, it is true that the various families in Guanlong unite to take Changsun Wuji out of the way, so as to choose a more secure way to end the "military remonstrance", and also grab more benefits by the way...

Changsun Wuji did not lose his temper in anger, but suppressed Yuwen Shiji's aura.

Yuwen Shiji took a deep breath, sat down opposite Changsun Wuji, and asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Changsun Wuji call people in to serve Yuwen Shi and tea, then drove them away, told about the attack on Dongneiyuan last night, and then said: "I swear to God, I never sent anyone to sneak attack Dongneiyuan , This must be Fang Er's bitter plan, and the attack on the army outside Tonghua Gate is naturally Fang Er's long-planned revenge, after all, compared to me, he is more unwilling to see the smooth progress of the peace talks."

Yuwen Shiji believed in Changsun Wuji's words, but the more so, the more he couldn't figure out what Fang Jun wanted to do: once the peace talks were successful, the civil service system in the Eastern Palace would benefit the most, and Fang Jun, who had contributed the most, would be repelled, making his heart To generate resentment and intentionally find an excuse to start a war in an attempt to influence the peace talks, this reason does make sense... But just now when I arrived at Baqiao, the battlefield was extremely tragic from a distance, and the right guards even pushed out the few artillery pieces. Where is the influence and talk to increase the right to speak?It is clear that I want to make a difference!
Today, Guanlong and Donggong are facing almost the same situation. They are both extremely afraid of Li Ji, who is stationed in Tongguan, because no one knows how Li Ji will choose. Once Li Ji is determined to stand on the other side, then For Guanlong or Donggong, it is a disaster, and there is no luck.

The best way is for the two sides to negotiate a peace, and then shake hands to make peace, to eliminate the crisis brought by Li Ji, otherwise half life and half death, no one dares to bet...

However, Fang Jun's approach seemed to be that he didn't care about the peace talks at all. All he had to do was to thwart Guan Long's "military remonstrance" in one go. This was extremely unreasonable, and even extremely stupid.

Even if Guan Long's "military remonstrance" is defeated, can he guarantee that Li Ji will die down and accept the crown prince's enthronement as emperor?

This is absolutely impossible.

After all, the Eastern Palace occupies a righteous position. Li Ji, as the head of the prime minister, holds hundreds of thousands of troops, but he watched the Eastern Palace suffer from Guan Long's onslaught, even though the entire Eastern Palace was crumbling and overturned at any time, but remained indifferent. What's the difference?
Right now, due to the situation, he naturally knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, but today Li Ji's behavior is like a thorn, piercing deeply in the prince's heart, and when the situation improves in the future, he will inevitably counterattack.

Li Ji is not a fool, how could he leave such trouble for himself?
