Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3715 Imperial Sickness
Seeing that Fang Jun was silent, Zhang Shigui continued: "If you can't say it, then don't say it, but I hope Erlang won't lie to me."

You boy, don't use lies to prevaricate me.

Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then please forgive me, Lord Guo, I have nothing to say."

Zhang Shigui: "..."

Damn!Can't you understand human speech?I'm just emphasizing the tone, so why don't you really say it...

Immediately with a sullen face, he said angrily: "Don't mess around here. If you don't say anything today, I will definitely not let you go! This old man is also a soldier, and he can be regarded as unyielding when he asks himself, but he also knows that the current situation is extremely critical. There is a catastrophe of overthrow at every turn, and you have to endure it for a while and wait for the future. It is really a last resort. But you are always tough, even going to war without authorization, obstructing the peace talks with all your heart, and putting the East Palace in danger, what is your intention?"

Fang Jun was silent.

It stands to reason that Zhang Shigui not only appreciated and cared for him very much, but also the reason why he was able to reorganize the Right Tunwei smoothly was because of Zhang Shigui's support. Zhang Shigui asked such a question, Fang Jun should not have said nothing.

But Fang Jun still kept his mouth shut, keeping his mouth shut...

Zhang Shigui was a little annoyed: "Could it be that there are some secrets mixed into it?"

Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "There is no secret, it's just that everyone has different opinions. Many people think that forbearance is the best policy for a while, and many hidden dangers can be solved in the future. After all, protecting the East Palace is the fundamental. However But I think Guan Long is just a paper tiger. Instead of raising a tiger to cause trouble, he might as well do his best in one battle. There are risks, but once he wins, the court will be wiped out, and the demons and monsters will be swept away. Lay the foundation of the empire forever."

Zhang Shigui shook his head and questioned: "With the collapse of Guanlong, there is still Jiangnan and Shandong. Although there are constant quarrels among the world's aristocratic families, but because of the same nature, every time there is a crisis, they will go together and advance and retreat together. This time It is a clear proof that the army of the world's powerful families enters the customs to support Guan Long. Without Guan Long to resist the imperial power, there will be other powerful families, and the situation is still the same. Where did the crowd come from?"

Aristocrats are the cancer of the empire. This point has basically been recognized by the ruling and opposition parties. Even the aristocrats themselves admit that the interests of the family are higher than the interests of the country.Even though the East Palace won a complete victory this time and Guan Long fell, the structure of the imperial court remained unchanged, and the position vacated by Guan Long needed to be filled by the rest of the family. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others do their best to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince?

In order to change power one day.

The powerful are in power to seek the interests of the family, so where is there any good or evil?I don't know the meaning of what everyone is talking about...

Therefore, the victory or defeat between Donggong and Guanlong is only related to the interests of one person and one family, and has no effect on the structure of the court and the general trend of the world.

That being the case, why take the huge risk to defeat Guan Long?

As long as the crown prince can stabilize the position of the crown prince and ascend the throne smoothly in the future, that will be the ultimate victory. Apart from that, it doesn't matter whether Guan Long lives or dies.

So many people don't understand Fang Jun's approach...

Fang Jun still shook his head: "The idea is different, so there is no need to say more. This mutiny is the life and death of the East Palace, but it is also the turning point of whether the Tang Dynasty can survive forever. Being in it, you should be able to look into the future, understand the mystery, and die for the sake of the empire forever."

The Tang Dynasty in history reached its apogee in the Kaiyuan period, and it can even be said to be the insurmountable peak of the entire feudal era. However, everything is just a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water, and the gatekeepers attached to the body of the empire are sucking like cancer. The people's fat and the people's anointment are not so much the prosperity of the empire, as it is the prosperity of the powerful.

It is precisely because of the existence of the clans that indirectly led to the separatist regime in the Tang Dynasty. Those clans who beat the empire and the people directly or indirectly supported the warlords for their own benefit, and dominated one side, leading to the collapse of the regime and the weak branches.

For example, in the "Anshi Rebellion", it was widely publicized that An Lushan led 15 "Hu people" to rebel. In fact, except for An Lushan's own [-] brave "Yiluohe" heavy cavalry, most of the rest were For the Han army, its designation, organization, name and even the military station can be checked and compared. Where are there so many Hu people?
These so-called "Hu people" armies are actually troops directly or indirectly controlled by powerful families, and in the name of "Hu people", they are carrying out rebellion.

The most ironic thing is that at that time, the countries of the Western Regions were summoned to the king of Jingqin, and countless soldiers of the Hu nationality came to Guanzhong thousands of miles in order to defend the Tang Dynasty, and fought against the Han rebels...

Everything is driven by the interests of the powerful.

As long as the aristocrats exist for a day, the so-called "Great Tang Dynasty" is nothing more than self-deception. "Rice, fat and millet white" are all stored in the warehouses of wealthy aristocrats. Looking at Yanzhou, "the wine and meat of the Zhumen stink, and the roads are frozen to death." "It is the real picture scroll.

It was the selfish greed of the clan that led to the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion", and then hollowed out this huge empire, leaving the center empty and full of wars, creating the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The kingdoms are fighting in chaos, the people are living in dire straits, the Central Plains is empty, the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. It is not much better than the chaos in China, and it is an unprecedented setback for Chinese culture...

……

Leaving Xuanwu Gate, Fang Jun walked all the way to the prince's residence in Neizhong Gate, feeling ups and downs.

He took a few deep breaths at the door to calm down, and then let the servants enter to report. After being summoned by the prince, Fang Jun entered, and saw Li Jing, Xiao Yu, and Liu Jie sitting opposite the prince, drinking tea and discussing matters.

Fang Jun stepped forward to salute, Li Chengqian looked dignified, waved his hands and said: "You don't need to be too polite, Duke Yue, just come forward, Gu just wants to find you."

Fang Jun stepped forward, knelt down beside Li Ji, and asked, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Li Chengqian asked the servant to pour tea, and said, "Let Wei Gong talk about it."

The servant poured a cup of tea for Fang Jun, then stepped aside to boil water, Fang Jun took a sip of the tea and looked at Li Jing.

Li Jingdao: "The rebel army has been continuously mobilized in the past two days. More than [-] clan troops have entered the city and joined the Guanlong army. Last night, a large number of siege equipment was dispatched. battle."

Fang Jun nodded, not surprised by this.

The eldest grandson feared Li Ji and hoped that the peace talks would be successful, but he did not want the rest of the Guanlongmen faction to lead the peace talks, as that would greatly damage his interests, and even have a long-term impact.So to show his final toughness, on the one hand, he hopes to achieve a breakthrough on the battlefield and strengthen his voice, and on the other hand, it is to demonstrate to the rest of the Guanlongmen Clan—you want to bypass me to negotiate peace with the East Palace, there is no way.

From every point of view, a big war is inevitable.

This is also Fang Jun's hope, to prolong this war as long as possible, so that all the powerful armies of the world will be swept in.

As long as this goal is achieved, no matter how much sacrifice and risk you take right now, it will be worth it...

The atmosphere was a bit dignified. Guan Long's military strength was far higher than that of the Eastern Palace, and now there were many powerful troops participating in the battle. The rebels were even more powerful. This battle was bound to be extremely tragic for the Eastern Palace.

If the Taiji Palace is captured by the rebels and the flames of war are ignited to the Neizhong Gate or even the Xuanwu Gate, then the only way for the East Palace is to retreat.

Li Chengqian did not speak, but drank tea silently.

Liu Jie couldn't help but frowned and complained to Fang Jun, saying: "If it wasn't for the fact that the Right Guards raided the rebel camp before, Changsun Wuji wouldn't be so tough, and finally progressed the peace talks, but because of this, they came to a standstill, and were even on the verge of breaking up. It's reckless."

Xiao Yu on the side drooped her eyebrows, said nothing, and indulged her.

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Ji, and asked back: "The rebels tore up the armistice contract, attacked Dongneiyuan by surprise, and provoked first. Could it be that Liu Shizhong hopes that the whole army will swallow their anger and let the bullying take care of the overall situation?"

Liu Jie retorted: "The so-called 'sneak attack' is just the Duke of Yue talking to himself. There is only the corpse of Youtunwei at the scene, but there is not even a prisoner or corpse of the enemy. This matter is very strange."

Fang Jun looked at Liu Ji expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "It's about the reputation of the generals of Youtunwei, and more about the merits and compensation of the soldiers who died in battle. Liu Shizhong, as a minister, should be cautious in his words and actions. If there is no real evidence to prove that the sneak attack was planned by this official, you will have to give an explanation to the right guards."

With his current status and strength, if there is no real evidence, no one can do anything against him, let alone a mere Liu Ji, even if the prince has doubts in his heart, there is nothing he can do.

If Liu Ji dares to continue to hold on to this matter, he doesn't mind giving this waiter a little color.
