Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3754 There is a secret in it
Li Daozong looked at the indifferent Fang Jun, and felt quite speechless.

What does it mean to go to war at the worst?
After all, you are also a subject of the Eastern Palace, and you have to take care of the overall situation when necessary, how can you do it as recklessly as before?

He reminded: "Liu Ji and others may be fine, but Erlang, you should also consider His Highness's position before you act. Your Highness has a lot of trust in you, and because you have always been steadfast, assisting and supporting you, you feel somewhat indebted. I can't bear to be harsh. To you. But His Highness is His Highness after all, he is the crown prince of the country, the dragon diving into the abyss, and the prestige of the crown prince should not be desecrated."

These words can be described as frank and honest, and heart-to-heart.

Whether it is the king or the prince, they are all supreme beings in the world, and they cannot be equated with relatives, friends, and official bosses.As the saying goes, "thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king", the king is a kind of reward for your kindness, but you can't take it for granted.

Otherwise, you will not know how to advance or retreat...

Many people understand this kind of truth, but they can only feel it in their hearts, and it is inevitable that they will be taboo if they say it out loud. If it is not for the close relationship, they will definitely not say it casually.

Fang Jun nodded, smiled to express his appreciation, but asked back: "The king's words are reasonable...but how does the king know what His Highness the Crown Prince wants?"

Li Daozong was taken aback, frowned, and said: "In today's situation, the Guanlong rebels have always held the upper hand, and the East Palace is in danger of being destroyed at any time. From the standpoint of His Highness, it is impossible to suffer a little grievance and lose some prestige with the rebels. It is acceptable, and the most important thing is to quell this mutiny as soon as possible. The crown prince is still there, and there is still reason to care about grievances and prestige. If the crown prince is not there, how can there be room for grievances and loss of prestige?"

The reason is easy to understand. For the prince, as long as he can keep his position as the crown prince, no matter how much he loses today, he can take it easy and pay back more in the future.If even the reserve position is lost, the whole family must be wiped out and died tragically. What's the use of worrying about other things?

Li Jing on the side was drinking tea from a teacup, frowning slightly, thoughtful.

Fang Jun shook his head slightly: "The king of the county is not His Highness, how do you know what Your Highness thinks?"

"Hey!"

Li Daozong said angrily: "You are not His Highness, how do you know His Highness doesn't think so?"

Fang Jun took a sip of tea in his spare time, and asked with a smile: "At the beginning, I single-handedly planned the attack on Dong Neiyuan, and then used it as an excuse to start a war against the rebels, which resulted in the setback of the peace talks and was forced to terminate... Guess what, the king of the county... , Your Highness, do you know what's wrong with it?"

Although Fang Jun reorganized the Right Tunwei, he was selfless in his heart and allowed the military commander sent by the imperial court to control military discipline and act as eyes and ears. Therefore, how could any action in the army be hidden from Li Chengqian?

Li Daozong was stunned for a while, puzzled: "Could it be that His Highness favors you and indulges you in such nonsense?"

Fang Jun shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

Li Jing, who had been silent all this time, said: "His Royal Highness is indeed soft-tempered, but he is not a foolish person. No matter how favored a courtier is, it is impossible to show unprincipled favoritism, especially when it comes to the overall situation of life and death."

He looked at Fang Jun: "So why does Your Highness just sit and watch you sabotage the peace talks?"

Fang Jun said: "Naturally, His Highness is unwilling to continue the peace talks, but the civil servants are trying their best to facilitate the peace talks, and His Highness is not willing to go his own way, so as not to chill the hearts of the civil officials, so he indulges my actions and pushes the boat along."

Li Jing said dissatisfied: "I'm asking your Highness why you did this."

No matter how you look at it, peace talks are the best way to solve the current crisis, especially for the crown prince who is facing life and death, he should seek stability and work hard to promote peace talks.

Because once the army is defeated, no matter whether he is Li Jing or Fang Jun, he may survive, but being the prince is definitely not lucky.

Fang Jun spread his hands together: "I am not His Highness, how can I know what Your Highness thinks?"

Li Daozong was angry.

This is what he said just now, Fang Jun returned it intact, with a strong sense of ridicule...

However, since Fang Jun didn't want to say something clearly, it was natural for him to avoid it, so he stopped asking.

It's just that my heart is overwhelmed, I guess the reason why the prince is unwilling to talk about peace, but I can't figure it out...

*****
Compared with the cheers and cheers in the inner gate, the atmosphere in Yanshoufang is gloomy and depressing.

The officials and generals who came and went were all preoccupied, and they held their breaths and tiptoed when walking, lest they disturb the Guanlong bosses who were discussing in the hall and cause unexpected disasters...

In the side hall, Changsun Wuji sat behind the desk, Yu Wenhuaji, Linghu Defen, Dugu Lan, He Lanyan and others were all present, but the whole room was silent and the atmosphere was dignified.

The two armies fell together, and the eldest Sun Jiaqing was captured alive by an unknown person from Youtunwei in the midst of the chaos. A total of more than [-] troops lost their helmets and armor, which was like a thunderbolt on the heads of everyone. These big bosses who are usually pampered and pampered felt dizzy for a while, and their brains buzzed.

The consequences are too serious...

After a long time, He Lanyan broke the deadlock, and said in a deep voice: "The two armies were defeated, and the news spread. Those powerful troops who came to Guanzhong to help the battle are all panicked and terrified. We must find a way to appease them, otherwise there will be chaos. .”

At the beginning, under the coercion and temptation of Changsun Wuji, he had to send private troops into Guanzhong to help the Guanlong army, and he must have been deeply dissatisfied in his heart.If the battle goes smoothly, that's all. After the victory of the military remonstrance, everyone can more or less reap some benefits.

But now the situation is tense, more than [-] troops were defeated by the right guards, and the leader of the road was even captured alive. All accomplices who "help the evildoers to abuse" will be severely punished by the East Palace.

Originally, he was reluctant when he came, so if he was punished again, how wronged would it be?

Therefore, these powerful and private armies must be secretly dissatisfied and wait for an opportunity to make trouble.Either unite and demand a retreat, or simply secretly collude with Donggong to fight back...

In any case, once these powerful and private armies get into trouble, the already grim situation is very likely to collapse in an instant.

Changsun Wuji was holding a teacup in his hand, he seemed to be distracted, and he couldn't reply for a long time...

Yuwen Shiji glanced at Changsun Wuji, and slowly said to He Lanyan: "Wait a moment, I will personally go to the various armies to appease them. They are all here, and they can't leave even if they want to."

Now Tongguan has been garrisoned by Li Ji's hundreds of thousands of troops. It is easy for those powerful and private troops to come, but it is difficult to go.Left and right have already boarded this ship, apart from working together to conspire for great things, where is there any way out?
He Lanyan nodded and said nothing more.

The Helan family used to be famous for a while, but now their children have been disgraced and the situation has gone from bad to worse. There is a shelf among the Guanlong clan, and their strength cannot be ranked at all.No matter what the choice is, the Helan family can only rely on Jing Cong.

They are all grasshoppers on the same rope, if they want to live together, they must die together...

There was another silence, and after a long time, Linghu Defen let out a long breath, and sighed: "At the beginning of the army, the army of more than [-] was vigorous and powerful, like a raging fire. I thought it would be successful when it arrived, who would have expected it?" Will it survive the current situation? Fang Jun seems to be born to fight against the Longmen clan of Wuguan, and he has never been able to gain any advantage under his hands."

If it is said that among the Guanlongmen Clan who suffered the most from Fang Jun's "torture", Changsun Wuji occupies the first place, then naturally he is Linghu Defen in second place.Although I have devoted myself to writing books and self-cultivation in the past two years, I have let go of most of the past grievances, but just think about the embarrassment when I was forced to bump into a pillar on the Tai Chi Palace and fainted, and my face was full of peach blossoms when I was scratched by Wu Meiniang. The humiliation at that time still made my heart twitch.

People are not sages, who can really break the world and not take those face and dignity to heart?The open-mindedness and relief that usually show are mostly just a cover-up. After all, with Fang Jun's current status and qualifications, the humiliation he has suffered may never be washed away...

Dugu Lan glanced at him, but didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Knowing that that guy is a stick, but still relying on the old and selling the old, who will he hit if he doesn't slap you in the face?After being beaten and hurt, not only didn't think about how to go, but shrank at home and dared not see people. The euphemistic name is "writing books and speaking, cultivating one's morality and self-cultivation", how thick-skinned...

It is very strange that in the face of this big defeat that was enough to change the situation of the battle, the big bosses did not discuss the countermeasures immediately. Instead, they sighed and expressed their emotions, as if it had nothing to do with them, and it seemed that the 10,000+ army was beaten It's no big deal to lose your armor...

It's a little weird.

Changsun Wuji, who had been wandering far and wide as if he couldn't bear the blow, just sneered, put the teacup on the desk, looked up, looked around the crowd, and said slowly: "The defeat of the army has led to a tense situation because of a problem with my strategy. I will bear all the responsibilities.”

Everyone was silent and looked at Changsun Wuji.

What do you take on?
