Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3870 The changing situation
Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea, and said softly, "My body can't take it anymore, please trouble me, brother, I'm tired."

Yuwen Shiji's face was very ugly, and he sighed after a long while: "It's not a question of whether you are affected or not. The key is that I found that I don't have any military talent at all... I have read military books and war strategies in the past, and I have also dabbled in the deeds of famous generals in ancient and modern times. I always thought that on the day when I really lead the army, even if I can’t compare with those famous generals in the world, I can still be well-regulated and have no omissions, but now that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I know that is not the case at all.”

The military and the government are the core of power in the world. They seem to be distinct, but in fact they are inseparable.

In fact, Guan Longxungui has always boasted "both civil and military", and each of them is an all-rounder who can lead the army and kill the enemy when he is on the horse, and can govern the people and the country when he is off the horse.But this time the grandson Wuji was seriously ill, and Yuwen Shiji had to be ordered to command the Guanlong army in the face of danger, so he knew the difference.

It is not difficult to lead troops. Usually, he is capable of commanding a brigade of pawns to drill and fight.But right now, facing the crisis of life and death, every decision must not be made with the slightest mistake or omission. A little carelessness will end in ruin. The requirements for military literacy are too high for him to be competent.

Even in his opinion, Changsun Wuji is not up to the task...

If there was a famous general like Li Jingyi or Li Ji on Guanlong's side, perhaps this mutiny would have ended in victory long ago, or even the next best thing. It is not possible to go to the current desperate situation of life or death.

Guan Long started his career with military exploits, and even relied on the army to assist His Majesty Li Er to seize the throne and become emperor. Today, the army has become Guan Long's biggest weakness, which is ironic...

Changsun Wuji's face did not change much, he put down his teacup, and said calmly: "At this point in the situation, there is not much room for twists and turns. It is nothing more than the two armies meeting and the brave wins. Tactics and strategies can play very little role. The difference between victory and defeat Time, everything is decided by the heavens, so benevolent brothers don't need to underestimate themselves."

Yuwen Shiji nodded: "That's true. I only hope that Yuwenlong can contain the Right Tunwei, making it difficult to reinforce the Taiji Palace, and our army can defeat the Six Rates of the East Palace from the front."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and raised his cup to drink tea.

He did have some extravagant hopes, and hoped that Chang Sunyan would be tough and give himself a big surprise, but in fact, he also knew in his heart that this extravagant hope was a bit unrealistic... Chang Sunyan himself was not a stunningly talented person, and the leader was For a mob like the powerful and private army, it is quite satisfactory to be able to complete the task of "sending the head" and retreat unscathed. If there are too many hopes, they will be even more disappointed.

However, Yu Wenlong used his troops calmly, and suffered a big loss under Gao Kan's hands last time, and learned a lot of wisdom. This time, he will be able to firmly guard the front lines of Kaiyuanmen and Jinguangmen, as long as he continues to put great pressure on the right guard However, Fang Jun did not dare to recklessly send troops into the Xuanwu Gate for reinforcements.

Outside the door, Yu Wenjie knocked on the door and entered, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The news from the palace just now is that Guo Guogong has blocked the Xuanwu Gate on the grounds of urgent situation and ensuring safety. The Youtunwei have been cut off from each other."

"boom!"

Changsun Wuji has always been deep in the city, and his emotions and anger are invisible, but at this moment he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, patted the coffee table, and cheered up: "I guessed right, your Majesty's last edict really has something about Yi Chu. Order! This is why Li Ji has been unwilling to rescue the East Palace for so long!"

"This is our best chance!"

Yuwen Shiji also understood, and said with a smile: "Before we speculated that Li Ji might sit back and watch the East Palace be destroyed and the crown prince be abolished, but we overturned this guess for a while, and now it seems that the guess is correct, but we just ignored Li Ji's motives. Originally thought that he wanted to support a crown prince himself to achieve the goal of monopolizing the power, but now he finds that everything is in His Majesty's plan."

Immediately he sighed softly again: "Your Majesty's obsession with the reserve position and even the throne is really rare. Even the will has arranged this matter properly, otherwise Zhang Shigui would definitely not follow Li Ji's command... It's a pity, if Your Majesty can see the prince's performance since our uprising, and maybe he will change his mind."

In the past, including His Majesty Li Er, the impressions of the crown prince from the ruling and opposition parties were "cowardly" and "weak", lacking the strength and wisdom that a qualified monarch should possess. The imperial power is declining, and powerful ministers are in power.

At that time, His Majesty Li Er wanted Yi Chu with all his heart, and everyone could understand it.

After all, the prince is the eldest son of His Majesty Li Er, if it is not necessary, how could His Majesty Li Er have the heart to depose the prince?You must know that throughout the ages, none of the deposed princes has ever had a good death. Therefore, deposing the prince's reserve position is almost equivalent to the death penalty for the prince. For a father, this is too cruel.

But the stability of the country and the inheritance from generation to generation are obviously more important than the honor and disgrace of a certain person, even if this person is the prince...

However, since Guan Long raised his troops, the prince's performance suddenly shocked everyone.

First, he repeatedly stated his refusal to return to Chang'an for Fang Jun, who was in a decisive battle with the Dashi army in the Western Regions. Officials of the imperial court stood up to support them one after another, and denounced Guan Long's "rebel" behavior, which made Guan Long's clan very passive in public opinion.

Then, he once expressed his ambition to fight Taiji Palace to the death and never retreat half a step.

Especially the infinite trust in Fang Jun, so that Fang Jun can always act on his own outside the Xuanwu Gate, and give Guanlong's army powerful kills one after another without being hindered by the slightest. This is especially important.

What are the necessary qualities for a monarch?
It doesn't have to be wise and powerful, and it doesn't have to be a candle that illuminates thousands of miles. It only needs to be firm-willed, know people and do well.

A firm will will not cause the government to change the government's decrees day and night, making the officials and the people in the world at a loss; knowing people and being good at their duties can put more suitable people in suitable positions and make the best achievements within their abilities...

That's enough.

It can be seen that the current prince already has the necessary conditions to become a qualified monarch.There is another point that Li Chengqian has uniquely, that is his "kindness".

Even if the Guanlongmen faction raises troops to revolt, they have to admit that once Li Chengqian ascends the throne as emperor, he will be a benevolent lord who is "benevolent and forgiving".

A benevolent monarch and a cruel and stupid monarch mean the difference between heaven and earth to ministers and common people...

However, the growth of the prince was obviously too slow. His Majesty Li Er died in the Liaodong Army and left a will when he was dying. He must not want the weak prince to cause the imperial power to fall in the future, and even bring disaster to the Li Tang royal family. , so Yi Chu's ambition became more and more firm.

Because whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Jin, they all seem to be more courageous than the Crown Prince...

Changsun Wuji shook his head slowly, and sighed: "Life and death are up to fate, wealth is up to heaven, maybe this is the fate of the prince. Even if we don't raise our troops to revolt, Li Ji will definitely follow His Majesty's will and easy storage. The prince's end is doomed." On the contrary, if the crown prince perishes in our hands, wouldn’t it be a kind of luck?”

Since he was doomed to perish, the difference between being perished by the "rebel" and being perished by his father...the latter was simply too cruel.

Seeing the two, Yu Wenjie sighed with emotion, and also understood that once the way back was cut off, the prince would have no choice but to resist stubbornly. When the Guanlong army captured Chengtianmen and occupied the entire imperial city, the only thing waiting for the prince was to be destroyed... So he bowed and saluted, backed out.

Changsun Wuji looked at Yuwenjie's back, and praised: "Your family's younger generation must be well cultivated and supported. In the future, he will be able to take charge of his own affairs. Perhaps the Yuwen family's glory and power will need him to inherit in the future."

For aristocratic families, the most important thing is to inherit from generation to generation and have successors. As long as there are talents, they can often create a situation by relying on their profound family background. Points are being eaten away.

Yuwen scholars are naturally very satisfied with Yuwen Festival. Hearing the praise from Changsun Wuji at this moment, he stroked his beard and said modestly: "Young people lack experience and knowledge, and they need to be trained by you. But this time, they have a calm personality and are not surprised , but it is also an advantage..."

Before the words fell, the door was pushed open with a "bang", the two of them were startled, and when they looked back, it was Yuwen Festival that had left and returned.

Yuwen Shiji: "..."

I just said that you have a "stable personality" and "not surprised by changes", so you just slapped me in the face?
