Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3834 Express your heart
Liu Jie's unexpected toughness made Yu Wenshi extremely astonished.

Didn't you agree to take a step back just now? Why are you so tough in a blink of an eye?
He didn't know the change of Liu Ji's mind, and thought that Liu Ji was all about promoting the peace talks in order to make meritorious deeds to compete with the military of the Eastern Palace, so right now he just thought that he had not reached the bottom line of Guanlong, so he just spoke in an official tone... …

Yu Wenshi gave a wry smile, and said patiently: "Liu Shizhong doesn't know something. Every family in Guanlong started out as an army. Although they have gradually faded out of the army in recent years, the martial arts practice in the clan has not declined. Instead, it is a literary style. If they are not prosperous, their children often wield knives and sticks, their characters are reckless and vulgar, but they don't know the righteousness of a sage. Therefore, if not only the private army is suddenly deposed, but even more than a thousand soldiers are not allowed to stay, these children will definitely be at a loss, causing troubles in the village, It's not sure who caused the disaster, please Liu Shizhong think about it more, so as not to cause far-reaching disasters."

This is considered a threat. Although our Guanlongmen Clan has pampered and pampered us for many years, we are still brave and tough in our hearts. If you don't agree to the condition of leaving more than a thousand soldiers, then we will die and die, and there is no need to talk about it.

Although I am looking forward to the peace talks in my heart, Yu Wenshi and Fushen official circles have been familiar with the essence of negotiations all their lives. Since they believe that Liu Ji also urgently needs to promote peace talks, then he will retreat when he should retreat, and be tough when he should be tough. Take it easy.

However, he misjudged the situation. Before today, this strategy could indeed hold Liu Ji firmly, but now, he is tough, and Liu Ji is even tougher than him!

"bump!"

Liu Jie jumped up at the case, and he had to fire his sword: "Absurd! There are family rules in the family, and national laws in the state. When will it be the turn of the children of the aristocratic family to be rampant and undisciplined? I will leave the words here today. If the children of any family in Guanlong trample Law and discipline, wrongdoing and evil, this official will definitely bring him to justice and show no mercy!"

Yuwen Shiji was also angry, stood up and glared: "Guan Long's bloodline would rather die standing than live on kneeling! You can fight if you want to, who are you scaring?"

Liu Ji snorted and did not back down: "The purpose of discussing the peace talks today is to eliminate the military disaster and save the people from danger, but this official will never compromise the majesty of His Royal Highness, let alone allow you to trample on me. The majesty of the empire! If you want to fight, even if the East Palace fights to the last soldier, I will personally raise the sword and go into battle, and I will never compromise!"

Yuwen Shiji was so angry that he pointed at Liu Jilai with his trembling fingers for a long time, then he snorted angrily and walked away.

The accompanying Guanlong personnel hurriedly got up and filed away...

Only the civil servants of the Eastern Palace in the hall were left stunned, looking at Liu Ji in disbelief.

Could it be that this servant has taken the wrong medicine?A few days ago, he couldn't wait to promote the peace talks, but today he is so tough, leaving no room for it. He looks like a generation of famous ministers who are strong and would rather bend than bend!

The scribes on the side moved their pens like flying, and recorded today's negotiation process verbatim.

Liu Jie stroked his beard, and said to the scribe: "Organize the records, don't damage or lose them, I will report to His Highness the Crown Prince first."

These records must be archived and kept. If the history books of this period are compiled in the future, they will be historical materials and will most likely be quoted by the editors.

At that time, Liu Ji will definitely win the reputation of "iron and strong" by virtue of his toughness and justice today...

Although he failed to achieve greater feats by facilitating peace talks, he was able to show his toughness and make a name for himself in the history.
The scribe hurriedly responded: "Here."

Carefully seal the record.

Liu Jie just got up, walked out of the hall to the Prince's residence, and reported the peace talks to His Royal Highness...

As soon as he left, the officials in the hall "coaxed" him into a commotion.

"Did Liu Shizhong take the wrong medicine today?"

"Although such a statement is somewhat disrespectful, I also find it very strange."

"There is a big difference in attitudes before and after. A few days ago, I wished to sign the peace agreement with a smiley face, but today I suddenly became so tough. What happened?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with the annihilation of Jingzhao Wei's private army last night?"

"The current situation is changing every day, and I don't know where to go."

……

Liu Ji arrived at the prince's residence and went in to have an audience after reporting.

The crown prince was sitting in the study to deal with official business, when he saw Liu Ji entering, he nodded slightly, and said: "Sit down for a while, waiter, wait for Gu to finish handling the official business at hand, and then talk about it."

"Here."

Liu Jie did not take his seat, but went to the desk, picked up the teapot and looked at it, then poured out the tea leaves and replaced them with new tea, filled the kettle on the stove with water, took it out after boiling, poured it into the teapot, and brewed a new pot of tea , Fill a cup, and carefully put it in the corner of the desk, so as not to be accidentally knocked over by the prince and wet the memorabilia.

After sitting for a while, the prince still didn't stop, the tea in the cup was already cold, so Liu Jie got up and poured it out again.

After doing this three times, the prince finally put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his wrist, took a sip from the teacup on the desk, the temperature of the tea was suitable...

Putting down the teacup, Li Chengqian got up and sat down on the chair by the window, and asked, "How is the peace talk going?"

Liu Jie didn't take his seat, but stood in front of Li Chengqian and bowed to the ground, with a face of shame: "I am ashamed of my trust in His Highness, I failed to facilitate the peace talks as soon as possible, eliminate the military disaster, save the crisis of the East Palace, and relieve the poverty of the people, I implore Your Majesty to order punishment .”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said warmly: "Please rise up, my servant. I am so worried and sleepless about the peace talks. I look at him alone and admire him deeply. Even if it is difficult to make progress for a while, how can I be punished for it? But let's talk about it. Which step?"

Only then did Liu Jie get up, and sat horizontally under Li Chengqian, and briefly explained the process of the peace talks just now.

At the end, he said angrily: "The rebellious ministers and thieves are especially dissatisfied because His Highness is sympathetic to all people and is willing to endure humiliation and accept the peace talks to escape the punishment of the law. He even pretended to keep the private army and tried to make a comeback. His heart is to be punished! Although the minister was ordered to preside over the peace talks, But he did not dare to back down without authorization, causing endless disasters, so he violated His Highness's original intention, and felt very terrified."

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Liu Ji strongly advocated to facilitate the peace talks, and for this he would not hesitate to sacrifice some interests of the East Palace, why did he suddenly change course and become so tough?

But in the final analysis, this also agrees with his thoughts, so he said happily: "The servant is still able to consider the interests of the East Palace in the face of a crisis, and there is only comfort in his lonely heart, so why blame him?"

Immediately, he sighed softly, and sighed: "All along, people in the world have always said that Gu is weak and cowardly. What is more needed is a benevolent monarch who inherits the national policy of the father and the emperor. Xiao Guicao is enough. If the monarch is strong and domineering, headstrong and conceited, he may repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty. However, this mutiny has made Gu's thoughts change Change, when facing your courtiers, you can be merciful and lenient, and when facing your subjects, you can be tolerant and merciful, but when facing the rebels, if you blindly give way and pray for peace, how can you live up to the emperor who founded the empire? A long-awaited and sleepy father?"

He patted the coffee table in front of him with the palm of his hand, his fair face was a bit ferocious, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu has already made up his mind, even if he is defeated and dies, he has to entrust his father with the responsibility of supervising the country, and he will go with him." Let the rebels fight to the death! Let those rebellious officials know that those who are disloyal and unrighteous will not die well!"

Liu Jie opened his mouth, but after all, no words came out.

He was shocked by the prince's expression of heart.

Who would have thought that this prince who was ridiculed by the world as "weak and cowardly" would have already made up his mind to die in the face of the danger of perishing at every turn?
For a time, he thought that he would be able to make a great achievement by pushing the East Palace back from the brink of collapse, and that the prince would be grateful to him and favor him... But he didn't know that his actions were completely contrary to the prince's intentions. Peace talks, forcing the prince to sign the armistice contract with shame and humiliation, what resentment would be to him!
In the reign of the crown prince, I am afraid that I will never have a bright future...

Really risky.

No wonder Fang Jun's attitude towards the peace talks is not only completely indifferent, but even quite contradictory. He has no scruples at all in ignoring the peace talks and launching a surprise attack on the Guanlong army.

But he thought about it again, the prince really wanted to be as strong as he said, even at the cost of the lives of the East Palace and his own future as an emperor?

It's hard to believe.

The words Cen Wenwen mentioned to him could not help appearing in his mind, as if he had an epiphany...

Not right.

Behind this East Palace, there must be something happening that he doesn't know about, and this incident even directly affected the prince's decision to deal with the rebels...

But what is it?
Sitting there, Liu Ji felt a faint sense of shock in his heart.
