Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3706
Li Jing's question was very abrupt, but Fang Jun seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised.

But he didn't answer either.

For a while, the two faced each other in silence, until the steaming white air spewed out of the kettle. Li Jing said that the kettle was removed, and he cleaned the tea set first, then poured boiling water into the teapot, and the aroma of tea instantly spread.

Li Jing raised his hand to hold the pot, but Fang Jun took the first step, lifted the teapot and poured tea into the teacups in front of them.

The charcoal fire in the small red clay stove is booming, and the roasting room is very warm. I pinch the white porcelain teacup and take a shallow sip of the tea. The taste is clear and sweet.

The rain fell outside the window, clear and shallow, and refreshing.

Li Jing held the teacup in her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "The prince doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't know that once the peace talks break down, the East Palace will face Li Ji's hundreds of thousands of troops. How can you take advantage of the prince's trust in you?" , and then bewitch the prince to step towards destruction step by step?"

The tone was very dignified, obviously suppressing his anger.

Fang Jun held the pot again, and when he saw Li Jing's teacup in his hand, he just poured himself a cup, put it to his lips and took a sip, and said: "The British Duke's position has never been clear, and he may not stand on the side of Guan Long. side."

Li Jing raised his eyes and looked at him: "When you went to Luoyang, did you get Li Ji's promise?"

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "No."

Li Jing laughed angrily: "Oh! Are you a fool? If Xu Maogong chose the East Palace, he should have announced it to the Quartet long ago, and then led troops into the pass to fight against the universe and make immortal achievements. The reason why he refused to reveal his position was because He cherishes his feathers, cherishes his reputation, and is afraid of being criticized and resisted by the world. He wants Guan Long to bear all the infamy, and then he arrives in Chang'an calmly to clean up the mess. From this, it can be seen that his heart must be more inclined to Guan Long I also don't want peace talks. Soldiers have been shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield. But once the peace talks break down, the East Palace will face the encirclement and suppression of Guan Long and Li Ji, and the only way is to be defeated... As, how can I live up to His Highness's trust?"

In his view, although Li Ji has never expressed his position, his tendency is already very obvious.Standing on the side of the East Palace, he is a loyal minister, and after putting down the rebellion, he has made great achievements in the world. He is an extremely human minister with a brilliant history and has reached the peak of a human minister.Unless Li Ji wanted to conspire against him and proclaim himself emperor, where else in the world could there be a higher meritorious service than this?
But Li Ji did not express his opinion for a long time. Even though he had already entered Tongguan, he still kept aloof and watched the fire from the other side. Apart from wanting to stand on the side of Guanlong, after the collapse of the East Palace, there was nothing else possible?

But Fang Jun's unscrupulous sabotage of the peace talks was completely in cooperation with Li Ji, which made him both puzzled and angry.

Faced with Li Jing's questioning, Fang Jun was unmoved, drank his tea slowly, and said after a while: "Mr. Captain. Soldiers should stand on the front line and face life and death, and there is no need to think about other things."

These words are a bit disrespectful, and the meaning of the words is "you are a good fighter in war, but you are a scumbag in politics. You should just fight the war and don't worry about other things"...

Li Jing was angry, his beard under his jaw was calm and he glared at Fang Jun.

It took a long time before he resisted the urge to do something, and asked with anger: "Are you sure that Li Ji will not intervene in the mutiny?"

Fang Jun held the pot and poured him tea, and said, "At least not until the winner is decided, but even so, the Eastern Palace is still facing rebels that are several times larger than itself, and Duke Wei needs to guard the Taiji Palace, otherwise there is no need to fight." When it comes to the British public, the overall situation is settled."

Li Jing frowned and said, "If peace talks can be brought about, the mutiny will naturally dissipate. At that time, no matter what Li Ji thinks, there will be no reason to take action. Wouldn't it be safer?"

After all, the East Palace is still at a disadvantage in the face of the siege of the rebels. Since the mutiny can be eliminated through peace talks, why use up the foundation of the East Palace to fight for a future that is more or less fortunate?
The wise do not do it.

Fang Jun sighed, this guy seems to be a scumbag who hasn't realized his ability above politics...

He was too lazy to explain, and he couldn't explain, so he spread his hands and said, "However, the matter has come to this, what can we do? Let's urge Donggong Liu to take precautions and wait for the ensuing battle."

Li Jing put down the teacup, straightened his back, looked at Fang Jun and said, "There is something unfinished in your words, I don't know what you know and what you are planning, but I still want to warn you, don't play tricks. I will burn my body with fire, and I will regret it too late."

Fang Jun nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Wei Gong only needs to guard the Taiji Palace. As for the British Duke, he will probably not intervene before the victory or defeat."

Li Jing was silent.

Who gave you confidence?

But he knew that even if he asked the bottom line, this guy would definitely not tell the truth, so he could only keep silent and express his dissatisfaction.

Thinking of me as the "Military God" of Li Jing's generation, but now I have to be instigated by such a stick, I am really depressed...

……

In the residence of the Prince of Neizhongmen, the atmosphere is dignified and tense.

Yuwen Shiji sat kneeling opposite Li Chengqian, with a gloomy face, and said decisively: "The truce contract was signed by both parties. Now the East Palace brazenly tore up the contract and started the war without authorization, causing the barracks outside Tonghua Gate to be caught off guard and suffering heavy losses. If Fang Jun cannot be punished, how can he be safe?" The resentment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Guanlong?"

Li Chengqian remained silent, while Cen Wenwen lowered his head and drank tea with his eyelids drooping.

Liu Jie, who had just taken over the peace talks, did his part, and said tit for tat: "The words of the Duke of Ying are unreasonable. If the rebels hadn't attacked Dong Neiyuan in advance, regardless of the truce, how could the Duke of Yue attack with all his troops? This matter must be investigated. The bottom line is that the rebels broke the contract first, and instead of punishing Duke Yue, Donggong will ask the rebels for an explanation!"

Dong Neiyuan suffered heavy casualties in a sneak attack. This is a fact. You can't be allowed to fight, and I'm not allowed to fight back, right?In the end, you were beaten and hurt and suffered a lot, so you cried and cried and felt wronged?It doesn't make sense.

Yuwen Shiji shook his head, ignored Liu Ji, and said to Li Chengqian who had been silent all this time: "His Royal Highness must know that all families in Guanlong are now inclined to peace talks, and are willing to turn hostility into friendship with His Highness, and will wholeheartedly serve him in the future... But Zhao Guogong has always There is resistance to the peace talks, and now it is the elite troops of the Changsun family who have suffered huge losses from the raid, if Zhao Guogong’s anger cannot be appeased, the peace talks cannot continue.”

Putting Changsun Wuji at the front is the strategy of the Guanlong families during the negotiations. All bad and negative pots are thrown to Changsun Wuji, and the Guanlong families whitewash themselves as being coerced and threatened to participate in the "military remonstrance". ", now trying to eliminate the image of a good man in war.

Although no one will believe this, but this can give the Guanlong families leeway, and they can be unscrupulous when making requests without embarrassment and angering Donggong, because they can be pushed to the eldest grandson Wuji, and everyone will be happy if there is a step. Downhill donkey...

Of course, he couldn't expect the crown prince to really punish Fang Jun. Given Fang Jun's favor in the crown prince's mind, as well as his current status and power, once he was punished, it meant that the East Palace had completely lost its bottom line for peace talks and could take whatever it wanted.

However, Li Chengqian's reaction was far beyond Yuwen Shiji's expectation.

I saw Li Chengqian's back was straight, his round and chubby face looked serious, he raised his hand to stop Liu Ji who was about to speak, and said slowly: "The East Palace has long had the ambition to die, and the reason for the peace talks is that we do not want the empire to collapse. The destruction in our hands, implicating the people of the world in dire straits, is definitely not because we are greedy for life and afraid of death. The surprise attack on Dong Nei Yuan is a fact. There is no reason for you to tear up the contract and make a surprise attack, but the upper and lower East Palace cannot retaliate. .The peace talks are implemented on the basis of mutual respect, if Duke Ying still has such an unreasonable attitude, he can go back."

Then, he looked at Yuwen Shiji with burning eyes, and said word by word: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was shocked by Li Chengqian's display of courage at this moment.

Yuwen Shiji was even more dumbfounded. Today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as weak and cowardly as before, and he is so tough.

If you want to fight, then fight!
On the contrary, Yuwen Shiji was stumped. Don't look at him blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Continue to negotiate.

In his heart, he absolutely does not want the war to resume, because it means that Guan Long will be completely controlled by Changsun Wuji...

But he really couldn't figure out the prince's mind, he didn't know whether it was pretending to be tough to advance in order to retreat, or whether he really ignored his blood.
