Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3809 Too late to regret
Of course, no matter how tempted you are, you have to pay something—what Zhangsun Wuji wants is Li Ji's inclination and standpoint, can Zhang Liang show these things?

He couldn't get it out.

Originally, he was not Li Ji's confidant, but this Eastern Expedition gave him the title of "Deputy Manager". He looked majestic, but in fact there were not many soldiers under him.In addition, the army is full of founding fathers and veterans on the battlefield, each with higher qualifications and stronger tempers, who can he command?

In fact, he can't even get in with Li Ji's inner circle, so he can only do errands and learn the tongue...

But he has his own calculations.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhao. I really don't know anything unless I don't talk about it."

Changsun Wuji doesn't care, it's normal if he doesn't know, if he starts talking about Li Jizhi's schemes, he will re-examine Zhang Liang's wisdom... With Li Jizhi's deep city and far-reaching strategies, how can Zhang Liang be like this? Waiting for others to easily see into his heart?
He asked: "This time Cheng Yaojin sent troops to destroy the Duan Clan in Nanyang without authorization, Li Ji really didn't know about it in advance?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, Li Ji really didn't know?No one dares to say this, but who can reach a certain status, which one is not excellent in singing, writing and acting?If they want to completely hide their original intentions, it will be difficult for others to find traces of them simply by looking at them from the surface.

But he naturally wouldn't say that, nodded firmly and said: "I have absolutely no idea, what status, qualifications and prestige is Cheng Yaojin? Li Ji stripped him of his shirt and whipped him. The humiliation was beyond compare, and it was absolutely impossible to act to such an extent. "

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then nodded in approval.

If Li Ji really wanted to show his position by exterminating the Duan Clan's private army in Nanyang, it would be enough to send a general, why let Cheng Yaojin go into battle in person, and then use whipping to resolve the situation afterwards?
Even if Zhang Liang was sent there and whipped to cover up his motives, it was better than sending Cheng Yaojin there...

Totally unnecessary.

Zhang Liang said again: "The army withdrew from Liaodong. Donggong and Guanlong sent people to try to lobby several times. When they arrived in Luoyang, Fang Jun went to Li Ji's tent. The stay must have been longer than ever before. And at that time, Li Ji's personal guards guarded the big tent, and no one was allowed to get close, including Cheng Yaojin, my servant, Xue Xue Wanche and others! So I have no way of knowing what the two talked about that time, but I always feel that something is wrong. "

Of course Changsun Wuji remembered that Changsun Anye was attacked by Fang Jun and killed Wuquan's body, which made the hatred between Changsun's family and Fang's family poured into three rivers and could not be washed away. Still aching.

And that time when the grandson Anye went to Luoyang, he only said a few words to Li Ji before avoiding seeing him, and had to go back home, but Fang Jun had a long meeting with Li Ji?
Especially the fact that "no one is allowed to approach" the big tent of the Chinese army made Changsun Wuji feel even more bad.

Perhaps it was Fang Jun and Li Ji who made some kind of contract in private, which is why they became more and more unscrupulous in attacking the Guanlong army and sabotaging the peace talks time and time again?

But if so, what is Li Ji's purpose?

Seeing that Dong Gong and Guan Long were both wounded, at the critical moment, he would send his troops back to Beijing to decide the overall situation?

Why did Fang Jun cooperate with Li Ji?No matter which prince takes the throne, it is not as good for Fang Jun as the crown prince to sit firmly on the throne and become emperor in the future. Even if he has a good relationship with Wei Wang Li Tai, I am afraid that Li Tai will not be able to obey and trust him like the prince limitless...

Everything in the world is driven by profit, even if it is forced, it is a kind of profit-driven, so what is the benefit of Fang Jun doing this?

Changsun Wuji frowned, puzzled.

Zhang Liang looked at his words and said, "And Li Ji has issued a strict order. No matter at any time or under any circumstances, the private army of the elites who have entered the customs is absolutely not allowed to withdraw from Tongguan... In my opinion, Li Ji's purpose is obvious. It's on top of these powerful and private armies."

This was the most headache for Changsun Wuji.

It's not that he can't accept the failure of the mutiny, nor can he accept that he will stay away from the court and no longer be in charge of the core of imperial power.The ups and downs of the court, the ups and downs, the ups and downs, he has seen and heard more, no one can stand in that position forever, even if the dynasties change, let alone a mere one?
As long as the peace talks are completed, the foundation of the Changsun family and even the entire Guanlong family will still be there. I have no hope of returning to the court in this life, but there are still descendants. As long as the situation in the court changes, the Changsun family, which is still deeply rooted, will surely be able to regain its glory today.

However, if the private armies of the clans who were coerced and lured into Guanzhong by him are allowed to perish and damage the foundation of the clans in the world, then the Changsun family will be hated by all the clans. This kind of "popular anger" cannot be tolerated by any clan .

It is conceivable that once the army is defeated, the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families will definitely be able to occupy the court in the future, and it is imperative to suppress Guanlong. The situation is unprecedentedly harsh, and it is not enough to describe it with a sentence of "dire water and hot water", and it will be a catastrophe at every turn...

Therefore, Li Ji did not allow the private army of the clan to withdraw from Guanzhong. If he was deciding the foundation of the eldest grandson's family's survival, Li Ji had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Tongguan, which made him very anxious but helpless.

……

The two talked for a while, and Zhang Liang confessed his knowledge without reservation, even many things may not be his own guesses, as long as he thinks that Changsun Wuji may pay attention, he will follow the other party's tone.

He is very skillful, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity of many things, but if the Guanlongmen Clan can stand upright in the future, Changsun Wuji will think that these news are valuable, and Zhang Liang has helped a lot.

If the Guanlongmen Clan is completely defeated in the end, with no foundation left... then even if Changsun Wuji realizes that what he said today is useless, what does it matter?

Zhang Liang is naturally not afraid of a fallen eldest grandson Wuji...

When it was dark and the rain was falling, Zhang Liang took his leave.Go back to Princess Baling's mansion along the moon gate, leave the mansion quietly with the guards, leave the city from Chunming gate, cross the Baqiao, and gallop all the way back to Tongguan to return to Li Ji.

Inside the Tongguan Government Office, Li Ji listened to Zhang Liang's narration of the process, and asked, "According to what you see, does Mr. Zhao believe this explanation?"

Zhang Liang looked at the expression on Li Ji's face and said, "He has no reason not to believe it. If the commander-in-chief wants to stand on the side of the East Palace to deal with the Guanlongmen Clan, why would he need to explain it? Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in Tongguan, once they go to Chang'an is a thunderbolt, and Guanlong's army is completely irresistible."

He continued to test his words, but Li Ji was expressionless and the ancient well was calm, he just nodded slightly: "Duke Yun rushed to Chang'an in the rain, it was really hard work, go back to the camp to wash up, and rest after dinner .”

"Here."

Zhang Liang, who didn't find out anything, got up and said goodbye.

Li Ji sat in the government office, the oil lamp beside him was dim, and the night rain was gurgling outside the window, thinking about the current situation and the possible changes.

He knew Zhang Liangzhi's character well. The reason why he sent Zhang Liang to Chang'an was naturally because he guessed that he must have secretly contacted the Guanlong Clan to take advantage of the opportunity, so he did it on purpose.Guan Long desperately wants to know his position and inclination from Zhang Liang, and he also wants to use Zhang Liang to mislead Guan Long...

But after that, will Guan Long rekindle hope as he thought?
The sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Ji frowned and looked up, the only person who can enter the government office without a notification is Zhu Suiliang, this guy may have been frightened too much, and he has been talking more and more in recent days, often like this The appearance of a cat, like a silent cat, is frightening...

Zhu Suiliang entered, bowed and saluted without saying a word, came to sit in front of Li Ji, and then slowly said under Li Ji's gaze: "Guan Long sent someone to meet me in private."

Li Ji frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Suiliang said in a low voice: "Confirm whether His Majesty is dead..."

Li Ji put down the teacup in his hand, and snorted. Changsun Wuji was too confident, and he was very sure that Zhu Suiliang was under his control and could not escape. It was only at this moment that he remembered to confirm the most important thing...Smart people think too much and are too confident. But it is always easy to overlook some obvious things.

Seeing Li Ji groaning silently, Zhu Suiliang hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said in a low voice: "My death is not a pity, if I can save my wife and children, I will be under the Nine Springs in the future, and I should thank you for your great kindness."

Li Ji sighed softly: "If I knew today, why bother? I can't do anything about it."

Zhu Suiliang's face was pale, and he was too regretful...
