Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3716 The prince asks
Fang Jun and Liu Jie came and went, tit for tat, and the rest, including the prince, just watched with cold eyes and didn't say a word.

The atmosphere is a bit weird...

Facing Fang Jun's unceremonious threat, Liu Jiran was not afraid: "The so-called 'sneak attack' is actually quite strange. There are many doubts in the East Palace. You might as well investigate it thoroughly to set the record straight."

Li Jing on the side couldn't listen anymore, frowned and said: "The sneak attack is absolutely true, Liu Shizhong don't want to make extra trouble."

Regardless of whether the "sneak attack" is true or not, Fang Jun has already retaliated against the rebels on this matter, which is considered a certainty.A thorough investigation at this moment, if it is really found out to be false, will inevitably arouse strong dissatisfaction from the rebel army, and the peace talks will completely fall through, which will also cause the morale of the Eastern Palace army to plummet.

If this matter is true, Fang Jun will definitely not let it go.

It's like lifting a stone with our own feet.

This Liu Jie was born as a censor, and he is used to finding faults and filing lawsuits, so why is his brain so bad?

Liu Jie sneered, not at all afraid of confronting two military bosses at the same time: "Mr. Wei's words are wrong. In politics and military affairs, sometimes it is true that you don't tell the truth, right or wrong, and the art of war has something to say, but the truth is false. , the false is the real. However, we are sitting here at this moment, facing His Royal Highness, but we must tell the truth of a black and white. Restrain it, prevent it from happening, and finally develop into an irreversible situation. The "sneak attack" has passed the time, and once the error is corrected, it will be handed over to others, but if the truth cannot be found out, someone will follow suit in the future, so as to deceive the Holy Spirit Listen, in order to achieve personal ulterior motives, far-reaching harm."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere became more serious.

Fang Jun took a deep look at Liu Ji, without arguing with him, poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, savoring the sweetness of the tea, and then ignored Liu Ji.

Even Li Jing, who has always been insensitive to politics, couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart, decisively terminated the conversation, and said to Li Chengqian: "Hear Your Highness's verdict."

No more words.

If he said it again, he would be suppressing Liu Ji together with Fang Jun, and he would target Liu Ji on an event that might be suspicious.He and Fang Jun almost represent the entire Eastern Palace army. It is no exaggeration to say that the life and death of the crown prince can be decided with a single hand. If Li Chengqian felt that the life and death of the majestic crown prince was completely in the hands of his ministers, how would he feel and how would he react? ?

Perhaps due to the current situation, they have to be tolerant of the two of them, but once the crisis is over, it must be time for liquidation.

And this is exactly Liu Ji's original intention to provoke the two of them repeatedly.

The insidiousness of this person is almost no less than that of Changsun Wuji who is known as the "yin man"...

The hall fell silent for a while, the monarchs and ministers did not speak, only Fang Jun's "Fu Liu" and "Fu Liu" drinking tea were very clear.

Seeing that he had pushed the two military leaders to the corner in one fell swoop, Liu Jie's confidence doubled, so he thought of taking advantage of the victory to pursue him, bowed slightly to Li Chengqian, and said, "Your Highness..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

"The rebels attacked Dongneiyuan. The evidence is solid and there is no doubt. The ranks and pensions of the fallen soldiers will be issued. From now on, this matter will never be mentioned again."

In a word, the conclusion of the "sneak attack incident" was sealed.

Liu Jie didn't feel any embarrassment at all, his expression was as usual, and he said respectfully: "I would like to obey Your Highness's order."

Li Jing sipped his tea in suspense, and once again felt the gap between himself and the top bosses in the court. Perhaps it was not the gap in ability, but this kind of self-satisfied, flexible face, which made him admire him very much. Sigh.

This is by no means derogatory, he knows his own family affairs, but if he can have a thick skin like Liu Ji, he should have switched from Emperor Gaozu's camp to His Majesty Li Er's command.You must know that His Majesty Li Er was thirsty for talents at that time, and he sincerely wooed him. As long as he nodded and agreed, he would immediately be the commander of the three armies, lead the army to sweep across the north and south, and fight east and west. More than ten years?
He had never heard the phrase "Character determines destiny", but at this moment his heart was filled with similar emotions.

If you want to be in the officialdom, if you want to do well, you can't have shame...

Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyelids and said slowly: "Guan Long is aggressive, it seems that this battle is inevitable, but we still have to be firm in peace talks to resolve the crisis, and try our best to communicate with Guan Long , try our best to facilitate peace talks."

In any case, peace talks are the main theme, which cannot be disputed.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

He looked at Liu Ji: "Liu Shizhong was recommended by Zhongshu Ling, and he entrusted the trust of many officials of the Eastern Palace. You still need to pick up this heavy burden, try your best to deal with it, and don't disappoint Gu."

Liu Jie hurriedly got up and left the table, bowed to the ground, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best and fulfill my mission!"

……

Li Jing, Xiao Yu, and Liu Jie left, and Li Chengqian left Fang Jun behind.

Let the servant change a pot of tea again, and the two sat opposite each other, not like a monarch or minister but more like a friend, Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, looked at Fang Jun, hesitated, and then said: "Changle is a royal princess after all, you Usually keep a low profile and don't want to care about how lonely you are in private, but don't cause disturbances and rumors, after all, after Changle, you still have to get married, so you can't ruin your reputation."

Yesterday, Princess Changle went out to the Youtunwei military camp again, saying that it was Princess Gaoyang who invited her, but Li Chengqian felt that it was Fang Jun who caused the trouble...

Fang Jun glanced at Li Chengqian with some differences. His Royal Highness has grown up very fast recently. Even if the situation is critical, he can still be calm and stable. Guan Long is about to have a big battle with soldiers, and he still has the mind to worry about these things. People love each other.

It is rare to have this kind of heart.

Besides, what you said means that you don't care much about me harming Princess Changle, and you still want to find a blamer for Changle in the future?

The prince glared at Fang Jun.

It's nothing more than a villain, as long as Gu ascends the throne, Changle will be the eldest princess. The golden branches and jade leaves are very noble, and there are good men flocking to them.But you also have to be careful, if "backing the blame" becomes "receiving the plate", it will be daunting...

The eyes of the two met, and they understood each other's intentions.

Fang Jun was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose, and agreed vaguely: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not delay the business."

Li Chengqian nodded helplessly, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it.

How else?He felt sorry for Changle, and he couldn't bear to imprison him in the palace like a prisoner, and Fang Jun was his right-hand man, so he couldn't be punished because of such things. That's all for female love, it must not be brought to the point of no end...

……

After taking a sip of tea, Fang Jun asked: "If the rebels really started a big war and approached the Xuanwu Gate, the pressure on the Youtunwei will be very high. It is said that the strong are the first to attack, and the latter will suffer. Can I act first? Give the rebels a head-on blow? Your Highness, please make it clear."

This is the purpose of his coming today.

As a courtier, there are some things that can be done but not said, some things that can be said but not done, and some things that must be said before doing...

Li Chengqian thought for a long time, pondered for a long time, kept sipping tea, and drank a cup of tea, then put down the teacup, sat up straight, looked at Fang Jun with piercing eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone in the East Palace thinks Peace talks are the safest way to eliminate the mutiny, and so is Gu. However, Erlang is the only one who fights the battle and never compromises. Gu wants to know your opinion. Don't use those words in the past to prevaricate Gu. Although Gu is not as good as his father The emperor is wise and wise, but he also has his own judgment."

He held this sentence in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't sleep or eat.

But he is also keenly aware that Fang Jun must have some secrets or scruples, otherwise he should take the initiative to explain without asking too many questions. He is afraid that if he asks too many questions, Fang Jun will have to answer, but in the end he will get an answer that he cannot bear.

However, today, the situation is gradually deteriorating, and he can't help it...

Fang Jun was silent. Faced with Li Chengqian's inquiry, he naturally couldn't respond as he did to Zhang Shigui. If he couldn't give a clear and satisfactory answer to Li Chengqian today, it might make Li Chengqian turn to fully support the peace talks, leading to a huge situation. Variety.

He pondered over and over for a long time before slowly saying: "Your Highness, as the crown prince, is the foundation of the country. He should inherit His Majesty's courageous pioneering and enterprising spirit, and establish the foundation of the empire with steadfastness and integrity. If you are wronged at this moment, you will certainly be able to go smoothly for a while." , but planted the bane for the inheritance of the empire. Everyone knows that only profit can last for a long time, so that the strength of character is lost, and the infamy is left in the history."
