Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3707 Doubts in the Heart
Yuwen Shiji couldn't figure out what Li Chengqian was thinking, so he had to say: "If Your Highness insists on this, then the old minister can only go back and try to dissuade Zhao Guogong, see if he can persuade him to give up pursuing Fang Jun, and ask His Highness to restrain him during this period." Six rates in the East Palace, so as not to cause another misunderstanding and cause the situation to collapse."

However, Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Where did the misunderstanding come from? Whether it was the attack on Dongneiyuan or the battle at Tonghua Gate, it was both sides who took the initiative to provoke, and there was no misunderstanding. You are going to communicate with Changsun Wuji, and I naturally hope for peace talks." It can continue, but during this period, if the rebels show the slightest weakness, the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace will not give up any chance to kill the rebels."

Very tough.

The officials of the East Palace remained silent, silently digesting the extremely unusual toughness of His Highness the Crown Prince...

Yuwen Shiji was in a mess in his heart.

Why did the situation in Chang'an suddenly become unpredictable and weird when I went to Tongguan by myself, making it difficult to figure out the context?Changsun Wuji is willing to negotiate peace, but only if the peace talks must be under his control; Fang Er is a staunch advocate of the war, even though he knows that Li Ji is eyeing the sidelines, which may lead to the most incredible ending; and His Royal Highness is also uncharacteristically, getting so tough...

Could it be that he got some kind of promise from Li Ji?Then I thought it was impossible, if I could make the promise, I would have already made it, so why wait until now?Besides, I went to Tongguan first, and Xiao Yu, the envoy of the East Palace, arrived later, and now I have leaked my whereabouts and was being chased and killed by the dead soldiers of the eldest grandson's family...

In desperation, Yuwen Shiji had no choice but to leave first, but before leaving, he gave thousands of reminders, hoping that the East Palace Six Rates could exercise restraint and not ruin the peace talks.

Li Chengqian was noncommittal...

The officials in the Eastern Palace pondered the meaning behind His Royal Highness's tough statement today. Could it be that he was completely bewitched by Fang Jun?The military officers are okay, Fang Jun represents the interests of the military, and everyone is the beneficiary, but the civil servants are not calm.

It is well known that the crown prince favors Fang Jun, but Fang Jun brazenly went to war and ignored the peace talks, and the crown prince is still on his side, which is unbelievable...

what happened?

*****
In the evening, it was cold and rainy, and it was cold inside the inner heavy door.

The maid brought the hot food to the table, and Li Chengqian and the Crown Princess Su Shi sat opposite each other to enjoy the dinner.

Due to the intense war, most of Guanzhong was controlled by the Guanlong rebels. As a result, there was already a shortage of supplies in the East Palace. Even the crown prince could hardly supply ordinary delicacies, and there were only ordinary meals on the dinner table.However, the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace is extraordinary. Even simple ingredients can still look delicious after being processed by hand.

Su's appetite was light, so he just ate some rice in the jade bowl with chopsticks one by one, then put down the bowl, asked the maid to fetch boiling water, brewed a cup of tea and put it in Li Chengqian's hand, and then the beautiful face was tangled up, wanting Stop talking.

Li Chengqian didn't have a good appetite either. After eating a bowl of rice, he picked up the teacup, the tea in the cup was warm, took a sip, looked at the princess and said with a smile: "You and I are a husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just speak up. Why are you so hesitant?"

The Crown Princess forced a smile, with a resentful expression on her face: "How dare the concubine be abrupt? Some loyal ministers can always watch the concubine, but if there is any suspicion of meddling in government affairs, I am afraid that they will be able to 'clean the emperor'..."

"Ha ha!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, asked the maid to change to a cup of tea, and teased: "Why, Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess is so vengeful?"

Not surprisingly, what the crown princess said should be the fact that she was warned by Fang Jun in the East Palace. No, so since then, he has really seldom scruples about government affairs, and it is just a bit of a joke to say it now.

The Crown Princess covered her lips and smiled, her beautiful face was flushed with blush. Although she was the mother of several children, the years had not left too many traces on her body. Transparent peaches.

The corners of her eyes twitched, her eyes moved, and she smiled lightly: "How dare I hold grudges? That minister is His Highness's most trusted minister. He not only relies on his strength, but also obeys his words. Take it to heart..."

Li Chengqian's smile faded, and the teacup was placed on the table, looking at the princess, he asked lightly, "Who told you this?"

Su's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "No one said anything nonsense, it's my concubine's slip of the tongue."

Li Chengqian fell silent.

Seeing that he was not reprimanded, Su bravely said softly: "The pillars of the Principality of Yue, the mainstay of the Eastern Palace, my concubine admires him very much, and knows that his unrivaled feats are the foundation that the Eastern Palace urgently needs. Love and favor are just as they should be. A virtuous minister and a villain from afar, the country is strong and the king is wise, but after all, the peace talks are of great importance, and His Highness trusts him too much, just in case..."

"In case" something, she stopped abruptly, no need to say more.

There are so many people in Guanlong, and Li Ji is eyeing him like a tiger. If this battle continues, even if the last soldiers in the East Palace are exhausted, it will be difficult to hide the victory.When the time comes, there will be no way out, and there will be no room for change. The prince and the entire East Palace will also be doomed.

She really didn't understand, Fang Jun would rather continue the war for his own selfishness, until he was at the end of his rope and had nowhere to go?
It's even more difficult to understand that the prince is also going crazy with that stick, completely disregarding his own safety...

Li Chengqian took a small sip of tea, waved away all the waiters in the house, and after pondering for a long time, he asked slowly: "Leaving aside the merits of the past, tell me what kind of person Fang Jun is?"

The Crown Princess was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "In terms of resourcefulness, it is not the first class. It is slightly inferior to Zhao Guogong and Liang Guogong, but they are far-sighted and courageous. Especially the art of collecting money is unparalleled in the world, emphasizing friendship, and He has a strong sense of justice, can be called upright and upright, and is a top-notch talent."

Li Chengqian nodded in approval, and then asked: "This is enough to show that Fang Jun is not only not an idiot, but also a smart person... Then, why is such a person in your eyes a fool who wants to drag Gu to ruin together?"

The princess blinked, not knowing how to answer.

Li Chengqian didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "The East Palace is overthrown, and Gu died. What benefits can Fang Jun get? Gu can give him, but Guan Long can't give it, Qi King can't give it, and even the father can give it to him." No... In the whole world, only sitting on the throne alone can give him the fullest trust and respect, so Fang Jun is the one who least wants to die alone in the world."

Both in public and in private, Fang Jun and the Eastern Palace are all one, one is both prosperous and the other is damaged, the only way is to desperately bring the Eastern Palace out of danger, how can he push the Eastern Palace into the pit of fire with his own hands?

Regarding Fang Jun, Li Chengqian thinks that he is very familiar with his character. Even if this person is not a floating cloud and dung, he doesn't care about the prosperity and wealth. He has lofty ambitions in his heart. The ground can be seen.

Its lofty ambition is broad and universal.

Such a person, if he wants to achieve his ideals and ambitions, he needs to have the talents of the world and the world, but also needs the trust of a wise monarch. Otherwise, no matter how amazing his talents are, how can he give you the chance to display them?Throughout the ages, there are many underappreciated talents...

The Crown Princess finally smoothed her train of thought, and said cautiously: "The truth is true, but forgive me for being stupid. Looking at the actions of the Duke of Yue, I can't see that my heart is towards the East Palace and His Highness. Now who We all know that the peace talks are imminent, otherwise, even if the rebels are defeated, the British Duke will lead troops outside and garrison Tongguan, but the Duke of Yue will brazenly start the war and push the peace talks to the point of collapse, what is the reason for this?"

She had learned her lesson and didn't want to talk about government affairs, but as a princess, once the East Palace fell, the fate of her, the prince, and all the children would be miserable, and it was difficult to stay out of it.

I hesitated for a long time to say this, and I couldn't help but mention it in front of Li Chengqian...

Li Chengqian pondered for a while, saw his wife was worried and anxious, and knew that she was worried about his own life and the future of his children, so he said in a low voice: "Before, although Erlang resisted the peace talks, he only thought that the civilian officials wanted to seize the victory of the army's deadly battle, so He was dissatisfied, but he did not completely reject the peace talks. However, after he went to Luoyang to lobby the British Duke to return, he was uncharacteristically opposed to the peace talks, and even brazenly went to war this time... Behind this, there must be something unknown."
