Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3933
Yu Wenshi was not sure about the prince's intentions, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "I am old and weak. Although I have an empire in my heart, I am willing to do my best for His Royal Highness. I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed and difficult to be driven by Your Highness."

Li Chengqian laughed, patted the back of Yuwen Shiji's hand, and said warmly: "Why should Duke Ying belittle yourself? You are the humerus of the emperor Gaozu, and the confidant of the emperor father. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, you have made great contributions. Although you are old As you grow older, you can't stay up late and sleep at night like young people, but you have rich experience and extensive knowledge, which are not possessed by young people. If you can help the military counselor, Gu will be even more powerful! As for your conditions for Gu just now For your opinion, Gu will not force you, after you go back, discuss it with the good students from various families in Guanlong, and it will not be too late to give Gu an answer."

Yuwen Shiji felt extremely emotional in his heart, the crown prince is really generous, he knows that he is in a difficult situation, even if he is willing to attach himself to the Eastern Palace, it is not good to say it here, and after receiving his clear intention, he decisively withdraws the words that forced him to express his position, so as not to make himself difficult.

There were some complaints about Changsun Wuji's rebellion in an attempt to dethrone the prince. The prince did plan to follow His Majesty's national policy of suppressing powerful families after he ascended the throne. Why risk the world's displeasure by deposing the crown prince and setting up another crown prince?
If someone else becomes the crown prince, even if he is threatened by Guan Long, can he be wholeheartedly attached to Guan Long?The imperial power is always above everything. Unless the new crown prince is firmly suppressed for a lifetime, the harder the pressure is, the greater the degree of backlash will be. When Guan Long parted ways more and more, is it possible that he will kill the king again?
In troubled times, clansmen can grow and thrive savagely, trying to grab all the benefits.However, when the dynasty was established, the empire rose, and the imperial power became more stable, the existence of the aristocratic family became a stumbling block hindering the concentration of imperial power, and fierce conflicts were bound to break out between the two sides.

This is the general trend, and it will never change because of anyone. Deposing the prince today and setting up a new crown prince seems to temporarily eliminate the conflict, but in the coming day, the conflict will still erupt.

Week after week, there is never peace.

Unless Guan Long can overthrow Li Tang and establish himself as emperor... Isn't the Li family in Longxi also from Guan Long?Once you become the emperor, you will draw a clear line with the rest of the family, and fight tit-for-tat for their respective powers and interests. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor.

The best way, of course, is to attach yourself to the imperial power and cut your own wings, honestly inherit wealth and honor, and rest with the country.

In the future, when the dynasty is in decline and the country is in turmoil, accumulate strength again and aspire to the world...

……

After talking about the business, Cheng Yaojin ordered someone to present the prepared banquet, and the three of them ate at separate tables. The atmosphere was no longer tense. It is also quite harmonious to exchange cups and dendrobiums between cups and cups.

During the banquet, Li Chengqian returned to Yuwen Shi and a glass of wine, and said with concern: "I heard that you are not feeling well recently, you must take good care of yourself. Now that you are young, you must not drink as much as you used to when you were young, even if you can't go back to court again. Tang, Gu will also invite you to serve in the East Palace as an old man to assist the Gu counselor military aircraft. The empire needs you veterans to continue to contribute in order to stabilize the court and participate in the reconstruction of Guanzhong."

The prince's words were sincere, and Yuwen Shiji also believed that the prince's words came from the heart and were definitely not pretentious, but it was precisely because of this that he felt a little sad.

From the beginning to the end, the prince never mentioned how to deal with Changsun Wuji. Obviously, he had a secret plan for this, and he didn't give anyone a chance to talk or bargain.

Back then, if Changsun Wuji hadn't unified the interior of Guanlong, together with the generals of the "Tiance Mansion" to assist Li Er, and at the critical moment, strongly advocated the launch of the Xuanwu Gate Change, how could His Majesty Li Er be where he is today?Therefore, His Majesty Li Er imitated the sages and commented on the merits of his ministers and recorded them in Lingyan Pavilion.

It was supposed to be the number one meritorious service in the Tang Empire, honored and favored, and powerful, but it has come to this point step by step, it is really embarrassing...

However, the crown prince cannot be blamed for being ruthless. The crown prince is willing to sit here and negotiate with Guan Long. Although Li Ji threatened to use Guan Long to resist the powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan, he is still merciful and willing to let Guan Long go. Long Yima.

If it were His Majesty Li Er, how would Guan Long be given such a way out?
"Three tribes of Yi" are all light...

*****
Slight rain and slanting wind, Zhongnan Mountain, flowing springs and waterfalls, lush and green, the carriage was driving among the dense forests and mountains, misty and rainy on both sides, and the scenery was secluded, but Yuwen Shiji had no time to watch, so he came to Changsun Wuji's residence with heavy thoughts.

After getting off the car, he entered the door and saw Linghu Defen and Dugu Lan were there, so he dismissed the waiter.

The four of them knelt on the floor mat in front of the window, Linghu Defen made tea with his own hands, Dugu Lan couldn't hold back, and asked, "How does the crown prince explain it?"

Yuwen Shiji said solemnly, "The conditions are very harsh."

The three of them were not surprised. This situation was expected. This mutiny almost deposed Li Chengqian, and once Li Chengqian was abolished as the crown prince, the entire East Palace would suffer catastrophe. It was rare for the wives, concubines and children to die well. How can the resentment in my heart be normal?

Now that they have won the comeback, it is natural to take the opportunity to vent their anger and ruthlessly peel off the Guanlongmen Clan.

Linghu Defen shared tea with the three of them, and then said: "Let's talk about it, if it's not too embarrassing, you can think about anything."

Yuwen Shiji hesitated for a moment, and described the prince's request in detail.

When Linghu Defen heard this, his face instantly turned bitter, and he kept complaining: "The rest is fine. We are defeated, so naturally we dare not continue to stay in the court, and we can confiscate [-]% of the property of each family in Guanlong for relief. Disaster victims, rebuilding Guanzhong, this is too much!"

Now that he lives in a secluded mansion and writes books, he can't be said to be pure-minded, but his ideological realm has indeed improved to a certain extent, and he no longer desires for an official career.What's more, the sons in the family don't have much ability and talent. It doesn't matter whether they become officials or not, but it is really fatal to confiscate [-]% of the property.

Without [-]% of the property, what will the thousands of people in the family do to support them?

What can I do to continue living a life full of bells and whistles and extravagant luxury?

Dugu Lan did not complain, but looked at Changsun Wuji together with Yuwen Shiji. After all, Changsun Wuji is not only the leader of Guanlong, but also the backbone of them. At critical moments, he is used to listening to Changsun Wuji's opinions ...

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, he took a sip from his teacup, and he said after a long time: "After all, the crown prince is still a little younger, and the second servant doesn't understand the dangers of politics, these conditions must come from the advice of Xiao Yu and others. It seems aggressive, but in fact we know that it is impossible for us to agree, this is forcing us to resist to the end and giving Yu Donggong a chance to die."

After a pause, he picked up the teapot and filled the teacup, holding the teacup and continued: "Once we reject the prince's conditions, even if Li Ji wants to keep us, there will be no step down. Let us 'rebels' go? Besides, Cheng Yaojin is obviously on the side of the East Palace, and the Shandong family behind him is making trouble. Believe it or not, as long as we refuse the prince's conditions, Cheng Yaojin will use his strength to fight Come, join You Tunwei and kill us all before Li Ji arrives in Chang'an?"

The prince planned to let Guan Long live and take it back for his own use, but he credulously believed the words of the admonishers around him, and misjudged Guan Long's tenacity and bottom line. Such conditions would not only fail to subdue Guan Long completely, but would make Guan Long Long was forced to resist to the end.

Once Guan Long is completely destroyed, the biggest beneficiaries will naturally be the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan. On this point, Xiao Yu and Cheng Yaojin are all the same, and the crown prince is obviously deceived...

Linghu Defen asked suspiciously: "Cheng Yaojin dares to disobey Li Jizhi's military orders?"

Changsun Wuji snorted, took a sip of tea, and said disapprovingly: "So what if you disobey? As long as we are destroyed, Cheng Yaojin will be completely on the side of the East Palace. When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will It is from the merits of the dragon, behind him, the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry entered Beijing and entered the court to fill the vacancy left by us. Control of the government is only a matter of turning the palm, and even Fang Er will be excluded by then, leaving nothing to be desired The military power is difficult to control the government, and the imperial power is even emptied, so why be afraid of a mere Li Ji? At that time, in order to fight against Li Ji, the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan could only fully support Cheng Yaojin, and his morale became one of the two giants in the Tang military. Keep Fang Er firmly under him. And in the future, the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan will completely control the court situation, and Cheng Yaojin may even replace Li Ji as the No.1 in the Tang military!"

The other three people were shocked and unbelievable, even Yuwen Shiji didn't think so much, and said in amazement: "How could Cheng Yaojin have such a plan?"

Donggong, Li Ji, Guanlong, Shandong, Jiangnan... various forces are mixed in the meantime, and they are all trying their best to operate their own interests. How can Cheng Yaojin be able to get the best of both sides under the scrutiny of various forces, and finally grab the biggest piece of interests? ?
Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "Among the big men in the military, Cheng Yaojin may not be as successful as Li Ji, military talent is not as good as Li Jing, and his family is not as good as Fang Er, but when it comes to political wisdom and tactics, no one can compare to Cheng Yaojin. Bite the neck of gold."

He has always had a very high opinion of Cheng Yaojin, and he was wary at one time, but Cheng Yaojin has always been in the court with a stingy image, and has never shown his ambitions, so naturally he can't catch him. What handle.

Now, he thinks that Cheng Yaojin is a hidden boss who is out of sight of all parties, but the fox's tail is about to be revealed...
