Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3758
"Here." Yu Wenjie responded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the side hall, called two servants to lead a horse, and after getting on the horse, he didn't go to meet the head of the Guanwai family in Chang'an at the first time, but rode the horse Galloped to Tai Chi Palace.

Galloping all the way, Kankan caught up with Yuwen Shiji outside Chengtian Gate.

Just as Yuwen Shiji got off the carriage, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. He stopped and looked back. Seeing that it was Yuwen Jie coming galloping, he frowned.

Yu Wenjie came galloping, flew off the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch, I have something important to discuss."

Yuwen Shiji glanced at him, then turned back to the carriage: "Come up and talk."

"Here."

Then got into the carriage.

There is a copper stove in the compartment, burning the finest smokeless bone charcoal, which is very warm.

Yuwen Shiji sat on the thick blanket, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Wenjie knelt down in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Just now Zhao Guogong ordered me to send someone to send you a message, please rescue Changsun Huan from Donggong."

"Um,"

Yuwen Shiji disapproved: "Licking the calf has a deep affection, which is what it should mean. It's just that Donggong is holding the handle of the auxiliary machine, so how can he let him go easily? It may be necessary to pay something. When you return to your life, you say I will act with the camera and do my best.”

Although Changsun Huan committed the crime of treason and had to go into exile, everyone knew that he was Changsun Wuji's most beloved son, who had been bestowed with unparalleled expectations.Even if he can't enter an official career now, how can Changsun Wuji abandon him?
It is precisely because Changsun Huan is no longer qualified to live on top of the temple, Yuwen Shiji will spare no effort to rescue him back.

But Yu Wenjie shook his head and said, "Changsun Huan cannot be rescued."

"Huh?" Yuwen Shiji was stunned, and wondered: "Although Guan Long has a lot of internal strife, after all, he is united in the same spirit. Now that the auxiliary machine has entrusted this matter to the old man, if there is a chance to rescue Changsun Huan, why not?" For what?"

If it is any other son of Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Shiji might still think about it, but Changsun Huan himself cannot live in a temple, but he is the most outstanding among Changsun Wuji's sons. Family inheritance conflicts arise.

The internal turmoil in the eldest grandson's family is extremely beneficial to the Yuwen family. In this battle, Yuwenlong squandered the "Woye Town" private army accumulated by the Yuwen family for many years, and the family strength was severely damaged. Where is the family's hope of competing for the leader of Guanlong?
He didn't believe that with Yuwen Jie's ability, he couldn't see the benefit of rescuing Changsun Huan.

Yu Wenjie glanced out of the window, and a team of Donggong Six Rates in full armor walked past the Chengtian Gate with mighty momentum and high morale.

"Patriarch, the ambition in Zhao Guogong's heart has not disappeared until now. He promised peace talks, but in fact he still wants to destroy the East Palace in one fell swoop. Otherwise, why bother to borrow troops from outside the pass? He is already red-eyed, intending to kill all of us. Tie it to the chariot, and live and die with him! Patriarch, you must not listen to his casual words. You must promote peace talks as soon as possible to eliminate the military disaster. Changsun Huan must be held as a hostage in the hands of the Eastern Palace, so that Zhao Guogong will vote against you. Don’t dare to start the war again unscrupulously.”

He had always known that the head of the family was very resourceful and thoughtful, and he had always been the "chief think tank" of the Guanlongmen Clan.But his personality is soft, lack of assertiveness, easy to listen to others and then shake his position, his will is extremely unstable, I am afraid that at this moment he has believed Changsun Wuji's rhetoric of advocating peace talks.

Otherwise, why continue to increase troops?

Seeing Yuwen Shi and his silence, Yuwenjie added quickly: "What's more, Li Ji is stationed at Tongguan, neither entering the pass nor exiting the pass. The road to the west is firmly occupied by the Right Tunwei, and the Anxi army has rushed thousands of miles to help. The north is sparsely populated and the road is difficult. If something unexpected happens, it is difficult for the Longmen clan of Guanguan to rush out of Yanmen Pass and return to Daibei My hometown? The Qinling Mountains stretch across the south, with towering peaks and deep ravines, which is an insurmountable moat. Today's Guanzhong is already a dead end for the Guanlong clan..."

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

No matter what Li Ji was planning, and no matter whether Changsun Wuji wanted war or peace in his heart, the current situation in Guanlong alone had reached a precarious situation.

In the event of an accident, there is no way to escape, but to fight to the death in Guanzhong, life or death.

Yuwen Shi and his gray eyebrows raised, and then sighed softly, and said: "How could I not know this situation? It's just that we, Guanlong, have been connected for hundreds of years. Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry groups attacked it. If there is no skin, how can Mao be attached? Moreover, once Guanlong splits, this military remonstrance will be defeated, and the auxiliary machine will naturally bear the brunt. Others may still have a chance to survive, but the auxiliary machine I can only be buried with the eldest grandson's family... I have been with the auxiliary machine for a lifetime, although it is not considered a love match, high mountains and rivers, but it can be regarded as watching and helping each other, how can I push it into the abyss of eternal doom with my own hands at this moment?"

There was a long sigh.

He also knows that he has a weak character and has no independent opinions, otherwise why was he coerced by his family and turned against his first wife, and never had any contact with him?
If you are sincere and ruthless, you should take the opportunity to withdraw from the mutiny at the beginning of the mutiny and not get involved. The Dugu family and the Linghu family were afraid of the retaliation of the eldest grandson Wuji, so they had to hold their noses to participate in the mutiny, but the Yuwen family had "" "Woye Town" private army is in hand, and its strength is the greatest under the eldest grandson's family. If you want to retreat, you will retreat. Who dares to stop it?
As a result, we are in such a dilemma today.

Yu Wenjie said hurriedly: "Patriarch, between advancing and retreating, the way of life and death, you and I are not afraid of life and death, but the whole family, descendants, can you bear the risk of letting them become pariahs?"

This sentence can be regarded as completely hitting the vital point of Yuwen Shiji.

As the patriarch of the Yuwen family, this time he caused the private army of "Woye Town" to be almost wiped out, which has already broken the backbone of the Yuwen family. Criminal officials, men sent to the army, women's family members reduced to military prostitutes...then he is a sinner of the Yuwen family through the ages, and his children and grandchildren will dig his tomb and flog his bones...

He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, sighed and said, "How should we deal with the current situation?"

Yuwen Festival had already prepared for it, and said decisively: "Do your best to promote the conclusion of the peace talks. Even if the East Palace asks for more, you must unite with the rest of the family to put pressure on Zhao Guogong to force him to agree. If he insists on going his own way, insists on refusing, and even continues to attack Taiji Palace, Then draw a clear line with it, and don’t conspire with each other.”

It is said to "draw clear boundaries and not conspire with each other", but the Guanlongmen faction is intricately intertwined, how can they be clearly divided?It's just to blackmail Changsun Wuji and force him to agree to promote peace talks and stop fighting.

Although the Yuwen family is not as good as the Changsun family, it has enough influence. As long as the Yuwen scholars threaten to withdraw from the Guanlongmen Clan, the rest of the families will have their followers. When the time comes, the inner part of Guanlong will fall apart. What will Changsun Wuji do to fight Donggong to death? ?
Yuwen Shiji gritted his teeth, made up his mind, nodded and said: "Good! You go back and pay attention to Changsun Wuji's movements at all times. If he is still serious and intends to increase troops to attack Taiji Palace, I will unite with various families and force him to give up. Remonstrance."

Yu Wenjie heaved a sigh of relief, and responded immediately: "Patriarch, don't worry, I will act cautiously."

"Well, let's go, I will enter the palace to discuss the details of the peace."

"Here."

When Yuwen Jie got off the car and walked away, Yuwen Shi and Fang let out a long breath, shook their heads helplessly, and sighed.He got up and got off the car, tidied up his clothes in front of the palace gate, waited until the servants of the East Palace and several civil servants came out to greet him, and then entered the Chengtian Gate.

Under the slight drizzle, the war-torn Tai Chi Palace seemed to have regained its former solemnity, but the walls and ruins of the houses seen along the way were no longer the majesty and prosperity of the past.This center of the empire, the palace of the king, is full of desolation after the war...

If this is the case inside the Taiji Palace, what is it like outside Chang'an City under the torment of the war?

Since ancient times, bandits have passed like a comb, and soldiers have passed like a grate. So many troops have gathered around Chang'an, and even private troops from foreign clans have stationed in Guanzhong. This mutiny not only destroyed Chang'an City, the most magnificent and prosperous imperial capital in the world, but also caused the people in Guanzhong to suffer a dire disaster.

Yuwen Shiji took a deep breath, walked through the Taiji Palace, and went straight to the Neizhong Gate.
