Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3890 Lobbying and persuasion
Later, Fang Jun suddenly became enlightened, both civil and military, amazingly talented, and Cheng Chubi also showed a calm and aggressive style, which made everyone change their perception of these two people.

Right now, after being reminded by Li Siwen, he suddenly realized that the so-called "the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change", Cheng Chubi is still a ram in his bones, and has a strong self-esteem. If he would rather die in battle than ask for help, wouldn't it lead to acceptance? Is the front line of Tianmen in danger of being breached at any time?

However, he didn't listen to Li Siwen's one-sided words. The two of them are very close friends, and it is inevitable that they will be confused if they care about it. If it is the idea of ​​​​reinforcing as soon as possible in case Cheng Chubi will die in the battle of Chengtianmen, wouldn't it be a waste of time to join the reserve team?
He waved his hand to make Li Siwen calm down, and said to the military officer beside him, "Give up all the battle reports of Cheng Chubi's department, and I will go through them one by one."

Then he got up, stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and stared at the front line of Chengtianmen for careful observation.

The recorder joined the army quickly summarized Cheng Chubi's battle reports and put them on Li Jing's desk.After Li Jing observed the situation marked on the map, he sat in front of the desk and read all the battle reports one by one. At that moment, all the situations of the enemy and ourselves on the front line of Chengtianmen appeared in his mind.

After deliberating and deliberating for a long time, he said to Li Siwen: "Don't be impatient, Cheng Chubi can hold on for at least an hour, but you also order your soldiers to be ready to reinforce Chengtianmen at any time. When you are in danger, I will never use your reserve team, but once you use it, it means that you have reached the moment of life and death. As long as you go to the battlefield, you must face the most dangerous situation. I want you to invest in it. You can fight with all your strength on the battlefield, if you slack off even a little bit, the military law will do it, and you will never tolerate it!"

Li Siwen was afraid that Cheng Chubi would fight to the death and die under the Chengtian sect, but he neither dared to disobey the military order nor disregard the overall situation, so he could only nod his head depressedly and exit the gate.

The fine rain came head-on, Li Siwen wiped his face, and looked at the direction of Chengtianmen in the south, the sound of fighting could be heard clearly, and the battle had reached its most critical moment.

……

The tall Xuanwu Gate stands on the north side of the Taiji Palace, guarding the gate of the Forbidden Palace. Not only does it keep the troubled rulers out of the gate, but the wind and rain also die down in front of the tall city wall and gate tower. It is as gentle as a lingering spring rain.

In the government office not far from the city gate, Zhang Shigui, wearing a helmet and armor, was sitting at the head of the table, with a pot of new tea on the table, with white steam and the fragrance of the tea, and opposite him was a hale and hearty man in white clothes. Xiao Yu.

As the blood of the Nanliang royal family, the head of the No. [-] family in the south of the Yangtze River, even though he is dressed in commoner clothes and just sits there casually, there is still an elegant and magnificent demeanor in his gestures, which is rendered by Zhongming Dingshi since childhood His self-cultivation may have nothing to do with his character, but he is absolutely elegant.

"The rain is gurgling, the fragrance of tea is wafting, Wu'an and I haven't sat down and chatted like this for many years, it's a pity that the military situation is urgent, otherwise, warming a pot of rice wine, frying a plate of soybeans, and having a few drinks, wouldn't it be fun? "

Taking advantage of his expressionless face, Zhang Shigui didn't want to reply at first, but after thinking about it, he still said: "It's not that I don't want to get close to you, the Duke, but the general will be imprisoned by the palace guard at the end, and his identity is sensitive, so how dare he collude with you privately?" An important minister of the imperial court? After all, the responsibility is the most important, and I dare not slack off."

As a general guarding the palace and guarding the Xuanwu Gate, it can be said that the emperor's life and death are in his hands. If he has frequent contacts with the court ministers in private and has a close relationship, he may not be able to wait until the imperial censor in the court From impeachment to death, the emperor would personally depose or grant death...

Xiao Yu frowned, smiling brightly, not afraid that you have a bad attitude, but afraid that you will not speak.

Poured tea for Zhang Shigui with his own hands, and said with a smile: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and friendship is deep in the heart. Although it is not common, it has never been born, and I don't care whether I often sit and keep in touch."

Zhang Shigui was depressed.

Since you don't care about sitting and sitting often, why do you mention that you haven't sat and chatted together for many years?
Damn!These old foxes are more insidious than the other, so they shouldn't talk to each other, and one of them fell into the pit without paying attention...

His face couldn't hold back anymore, he sighed and said: "At present, the war is fierce and the war is in danger, Duke Song is not around the prince to give advice, but he comes here to chat and drink tea at the end of the day. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak up."

Playing with the mind and discussing the means, I and Xiao Yu are not in the same rank at all, talking about those messy things can only make myself more passive, it is better to get straight to the point and go straight to the point.

"Wu An is indeed as straightforward and bold as he was back then, and he is worthy of being a hero in the world!"

Xiao Yu gave a compliment, as if appreciating it.

"Wu'an" is Zhang Shigui's name...

Zhang Shigui smiled wryly, cupped his fists and begged for forgiveness: "Please tell Duke Song Guo what the reason for coming here today? I really can't stand your praise."

Shou can still bear it, thinking that Zhang Shigui's meritorious service in the court and the public this year is not comparable to many people, and he has always been proud of his straightforward and bold temperament, but the purpose of Xiao Yu's coming today is clearly revealed, and the more he treats him at this moment Good words are relative, I am afraid that the conditions will be more stringent later on.

Seeing him talking like this, Xiao Yu didn't go around and said bluntly: "I came here this time to beg Brother Wu An, if the situation is critical, please let go of the Xuanwu Gate and let Fang Jun enter the palace. If Fang Jun doesn't Entering the palace, I'm afraid no one will be able to persuade the crown prince to withdraw from the Taiji Palace, so is it possible that Brother Wu An is willing to watch the empire Zhengshuo die because of you?"

The hat was too big, Zhang Shigui couldn't stand it, he stared displeasedly and said: "What does Song Guogong mean by this? The one who is making trouble now is the Guanlong Clan, even if the East Palace falls, what does it have to do with me?"

Xiao Yu said indifferently: "But you have never stood on the side of the crown prince. As a general in charge of the palace guard, you have abandoned the imperial Zhengshuo. It is not your responsibility but whose responsibility is it?"

But Zhang Shigui didn't dare to admit it, he could only pretend to be confused: "Song Guogong's words will never be understood."

Xiao Yu asked: "Why did you block the Xuanwu Gate and cut off the connection between the Inner Gate and the outside world?"

Zhang Shigui said: "The current situation is dangerous, the final general will be responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, he dare not be negligent, lest the rebel army break through the Xuanwu Gate and endanger the prince, so he can only do this."

Xiao Yu refused to give an inch: "In this case, it is only necessary to close the Xuanwu Gate and strengthen the guard at the same time. Why is no news allowed to enter or leave the Xuanwu Gate?"

Zhang Shigui kept silent.

In the face of the fact that Xuanwumen was blocked, all excuses were powerless. At this moment, everyone knew that he and Donggong were not of the same mind, and could even give Donggong a fatal blow anytime, anywhere.

Xiao Yu put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, stared into Zhang Shigui's eyes, and said slowly: "I know that Wu An is loyal to His Majesty, and it is absolutely impossible for him to participate in the Guanlong rebellion. The arrogance of the army even put the empire Zhengshuo to death... I know Wu An is a man, so I ask you, but is there an edict from His Majesty ordering you to act like this?"

Zhang Shigui was silent, his heart was tangled, but he didn't say a word.

Silence sometimes means acquiescing...

Xiao Yu's eyes were clear, he stroked his beard under his chin, and continued to speak with a three-inch tongue: "If there is really such a will, ordering Wu An to act according to your orders, I will naturally not say more. But have you ever thought about it? Although your Majesty There was an intention to change the crown, and the reason was that His Highness was too weak to take on the heavy responsibility of the Crown Prince, let alone carry on His Majesty's ambitions. However, since the day when Guanlong started the incident, all the actions of the Crown Prince have been in your eyes, have you ever seen it? Have you ever been weak, have you ever been confused?"

Zhang Shigui remained silent.

To be honest, to this day, for the various performances of the prince during the Guanlong rebellion, the government and the public, as well as inside and outside Chang'an, are well-known. The gentle prince is simply the future monarch that a courtier dreams of.

For a prince, is he really better than Li Chengqian?
Seeing the change in Zhang Shigui's expression, Xiao Yu hit the iron while it was hot: "The reason why your majesty is easy to store is because of the impression he had of the prince in the past. If your majesty is watching this mutiny right now, do you think you will still stick to the heart of easy storage?"

Zhang Shigui could only remain silent.

This is a question with no answer, but in fact, is there really no answer?

Not necessarily...

Xiao Yu poured tea for herself, took a sip of tea, and continued: "In the current situation, everyone knows what Guan Long is thinking. Once the East Palace falls, they will immediately support a prince to become the crown prince, and then seize power and control The government... Maybe the whole Guanlong and even Li Ji don't care who is the heir apparent, because there is His Majesty's edict, everyone just obeys orders... But ask yourself, can we really not care? That is Zheng Shuo, who represents the succession of the throne Ah! Once the rules and regulations are reversed and the human relations are out of order, the imperial power will be unstable and the empire will not be peaceful. The seals of Qin and Sui are still there. Could it be that you, Wu'an, just watched the empire's wars rise and fall, and the second generation died?!"

Zhang Shigui was finally moved.

The last sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart...
