Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3708
The Crown Princess Su Shi was terrified, covered her rosy lips, and said in amazement: "He... he must have some treasonous agreement with the British public or private, right?"

Li Chengqian was speechless at the moment, glanced at the princess, and said helplessly: "What are you thinking? It's still the same sentence, no one in the world can give more than Gu, why should he look far away? Besides, with the temperament and heart of the British Duke, I will definitely not seek to usurp the throne. If I support a certain prince to ascend the throne, he will still be an extremely human minister. What is the difference from now? Risking the world's disgrace and bearing the name of a traitor, and then seeking what he already has now... Who would do such a stupid thing?"

"But……"

The princess hesitated to speak.

She understands the truth, but the problem is that since Fang Jun brazenly went to war with the rebels this time, the explanation is more and more different...

Li Chengqian poured tea for his wife and said with a smile: "Originally, the Eastern Expedition was a great cause for the stability of the northern border of the empire. The whole country was conquered, and Goguryeo had only one way to perish. However, the army was blocked under the city of Ping Rang. , the father had an accident, and now... this is the destiny, and it cannot be resisted by human calculations. All we have to do is to do our best, do our best, and obey the destiny. No one knows where the road to victory is. Being able to close your eyes and choose one, and keep going.”

Since the start of the Eastern Expedition, the situation in the empire has been turbulent.

Or maybe it was due to the fact that there was peace in the Eastern Expedition, but what the Tang Dynasty did under the banner of being upright was the fact of aggression, in order to wipe out the potential powerful enemy of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and lay the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.However, when the war breaks out, people will inevitably suffer, and it is only natural to be warned by the heavens.

However, this vigilance caused hundreds of thousands of troops to return home, and the generation of heroes of the father and emperor fell... This seems a bit excessive.

To this day, Li Chengqian still can't believe that a generation of emperors who were as majestic as his father and destined to be famous in history, died so lightly because of a fall from a horse...

I always feel that everything is covered in a layer of mist, and I can't see clearly.

He said that he didn't believe that Fang Jun and Li Ji had reached an alliance in private, but in his heart he still believed that Li Ji must have said something to Fang Jun, and even, maybe his father left a legacy...

*****
Longevity Square.

Yuwen Shiji returned from the inner heavy gate, and after the notification, he went inside to meet Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji looked up from a pile of documents, put down his pen, asked the servant to make hot tea, looked at Yuwen Shi and his embarrassed face, and asked, "How is it?"

Yuwen Shiji sighed, "The situation is not good."

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji was a little surprised, motioned for the other party to drink tea, took a sip from the teacup himself, and wondered, "What do you mean by that?"

Yuwen Shiji didn't bang the teacup, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with His Royal Highness."

This time Changsun Wuji didn't ask questions, but looked at Yuwen Shiji, waiting for him to speak.

Yu Wenshi thought about His Royal Highness Prince Cai's expression and words just now, and found it even more inconceivable: "It stands to reason, whether we or the East Palace, when facing Li Ji's threats, peace talks are the best way, not only can eliminate the mutual conflicts between each other. This mutiny, which is destined to suffer heavy losses, can also force Li Ji to give up all his ambitions and return to Chang'an honestly."

He didn't seem to be analyzing something to Changsun Wuji, but expressed his doubts through words, so that he could sort out and summarize them more clearly. Therefore, he paused and continued: "Fang Jun's brazen war this time is obviously a We want to completely destroy the peace talks, but in this way, we are bound to reproduce the scene of endless fighting before. How can the East Palace dare to say that it will win? What's more, Li Ji and Chen Bing are eyeing Tongguan with ulterior motives. Negatives will die without a place to bury... Is Fang Jun an idiot? Obviously not, but he just did it, and the most incredible thing is why the prince still firmly supports him?"

It is no longer a matter of wisdom or stupidity to try the dangerous path that is doomed to be full of thorns and do not know where the end point is. It is no longer a question of wisdom or stupidity. known reasons.

In particular, Fang Junzhi's toughness became more and more obvious after he went to Luoyang to meet Li Ji last time...

Changsun Wuji followed Yuwen Shiji's train of thought, and felt that it was unreasonable, and pondered, "Perhaps, what promise did Li Ji make to Yu Fangjun?"

Yuwen Shiji said decisively: "It is absolutely impossible. Even if Li Ji is willing to give it, how can his promise be compared to the promise of the prince? Fang Jun is loyal to the prince, and the prince is even more confidant to him. His favor and trust cannot be increased. Nothing is more beneficial to Fang Jun than the succession of the crown prince."

As if caught in a nest, even Changsun Wuji straightened his waist.

He used to think that Yuwen scholars and smart people had made a mistake. He thought he was smart, so he thought too much when encountering problems, but he made up countless unimaginable reasons for obvious and simple things... But now he is also more and more aware. Something is very wrong.

After all, people's behavior is to "seek profit and avoid harm", that is, to pursue profit, whether it is fame or wealth, it must be profitable.Fang Junzhi's behavior is inconsistent with this point, because the benefits after the peace talks are far greater than continuing to fight.

Just for the righteousness in his chest and abdomen?
That's what a fool would do...

What is the reason why Fang Jun let go of the peace talks and insisted on dragging the entire Eastern Palace and Guan Long to fight to the death?
The two frowned and pondered, countless reasons flashed in their minds, but they were denied by themselves one by one.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji let out a long breath, rubbed his swollen temples, lifted the teacup to his lips, only to find that the tea was completely cold, put down the teacup, and said, "Don't think about that for the time being, the most urgent thing right now. On the one hand, we need to continue the peace talks with him, and on the other hand, we need to dispatch the armies of the world’s most influential people to besiege Chang’an, so it’s best to have peace talks, if not, we must destroy the Eastern Palace in one fell swoop!”

Extreme resourcefulness made him realize that things have far exceeded his initial expectations, and the current situation is full of too many uncertainties, and any decision may even lead to a total loss.

Therefore, he resolutely gave up Guan Long's control, and was willing to hand over the leadership of the peace talks to Yuwen Shiji, so that he could facilitate the peace talks as soon as possible.If not, then make the final preparations, choose the right time to launch a siege, and complete all the achievements in one battle, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

As for Li Ji, let's put it aside for now. After all, if the peace talks collapse, then the only way to think about how to solve Li Ji is to completely defeat the East Palace.

Otherwise, if they are counterattacked by the Eastern Palace, everything will be over...

Yu Wenshi frowned and said: "That's right, but the peace talks are already difficult to proceed. Today I went to see the prince and found that Cen Wenwen didn't say a word in the whole city. Instead, Liu Ji was very active in jumping up and down. If I The guess is right, the new servant has already obtained the support of the Eastern Palace civil servants, and will lead the peace talks."

Although Liu Xi can be regarded as a veteran minister, his qualifications, status, and influence are vastly different from those of Xiao Yu. Even with the support of the Eastern Palace civil servants, he will never be able to compete with the military like Xiao Yu.

The prospects for the peace talks are not good...

Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "It's okay, it's best to be able to negotiate peace, if the negotiation fails, then fight to the end, but this battle must be resolved quickly, and it can't be delayed for a long time, otherwise life will change."

The strength of the East Palace has been clearly demonstrated. Although the Youtunwei is a powerful army in the world, it will explode with great combat power in a desperate battle, which will change the trend of the war, but generally speaking, Guanlong is still firmly connected with the powerful army in the world. Take advantage.

The so-called variable naturally refers to Li Ji from Chen Bing Tongguan.

No one knew what Li Ji was thinking, let alone whether or when he would join the war...

Yuwen Shiji touched the teacup and found that the tea was too cold, so he gave up the idea of ​​drinking tea and sighed dejectedly: "The world is changing and unpredictable, who would have thought that this war of remonstrance would come to the point it is today? "

At the beginning, Changsun Wuji sneaked back to Chang'an from the Liaodong Army and single-handedly planned to carry out the military remonstrance, but all the families in Guanlong silently agreed.After all, it is a matter of life and death for the family members. The heads of the families and the wise men in the family have calculated it countless times, and no matter which time, there has never been the ending of the Jedi's counterattack in the East Palace.

It was only later that I discovered how can the world be poor with manpower?Variables always exist unconsciously.First of all, he underestimated Li Jing's ability. He didn't expect that this generation of military god who had lived in the mansion for more than ten years was still shining brightly. The crazy attacks of the Guanlong army were defeated again and again, and the previous plan of "quick battle and quick decision" was completely defeated, falling into a huge war of attrition.

Thus, when Fang Jun put down the enemies in the Western Regions in one fell swoop, he rushed thousands of miles to help Chang'an...

The situation was completely out of control, and the Guanlong clan was pushed to the edge of the cliff of eternal doom, and their bodies and families were easily destroyed.

It can be seen that people are not as good as heaven.

The two core figures of the Guanlongmen clan looked at each other blankly, feeling melancholy, feeling helpless with the current situation.

Outside the door, the civil official came in and reported: "Liu Ji, the servant, has come in person to pay a visit to Zhao Guogong and Ying Guogong."
