Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3939
When Fang Jun saw Li Chengqian's expression, he immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness misunderstood, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that His Highness Changle has a deep affection for this minister, and he is dismissive of other men, which is hindered by etiquette. But you can't live together, you will inevitably be lonely and helpless, and I feel guilty... For such a major event as raising children, it is natural to obtain the approval of His Highness, and there is no need for His Highness to publicly express his position, just acquiesce, and this minister and His Highness Changle Grateful."

"Hey! Mother!"

Li Chengqian was so angry that he even burst into obscenities, knocked on the coffee table in front of him, and said angrily: "You are really thick-skinned, cooperating with Changle, the eldest princess of the Tang Empire, has been reduced to the point where no one wants it. You can't live, can you? And let Gu acquiesce... acquiesce! What a fart! I tell you, since the two of you love each other, although it is indecent and contrary to ethics, but Gu pities Changle, so he doesn't want to take care of it. But if you want to make the same mistakes again and again, it is absolutely impossible! Even if you are lonely, how can the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty, the imperial family and the outside world tolerate you?"

Back then, in order to stabilize the court and consolidate the imperial power, the father married Changle to Changsun Chong. Of course, there was a desire to love Changsun Chong and make him closer, but in the end it was still a political marriage.There is nothing wrong with a political marriage, not to mention the royal family, even the families in the countryside use this to expand their influence and strengthen their strength, but in the end it led to Changle's reconciliation, and they suffered so many years of grievances in the grandson's family. no more.

Li Chengqian doesn't care what other people think, but he himself thinks that he owes Chang Le, so he vows to make up for it, as long as it is what Chang Le wants, he will definitely give it to him if he has it.

So even if they knew that Chang Le and Fang Jun were secretly sharing a song, they would turn a blind eye and close their eyes, as long as the trouble wasn't too much, they wouldn't want to intervene...

But how can it be possible to give birth to offspring?

The two agreed to meet each other in private. To put it bluntly, it was a romantic affair. The reputation of the royal family was criticized, but the reputation of the Li Tang royal family was not very pure from the father... But the nature of having children is completely different. It's a real scandal.

Besides, Chang Le and Fang Jun are happily together now, maybe one day "the love will turn weak when the love is strong", then they will have the idea of ​​finding a man to marry, and everything will be back on track.But once they give birth to an heir, they will be entangled in one place for the rest of their lives, and there is no room for retreat...

Fang Jun smiled awkwardly, and slandered in his heart: It seems that you have the final say, do you really think you are the emperor?Still a long way to go……

He was just trying to test Li Chengqian's tone, as long as Li Chengqian didn't object violently, as for others...the time has not come yet, so we have to wait.

Li Chengqian was too lazy to take care of this flirt, so he called Wang De in, and ordered: "Go to Changsun Wuji immediately, tell Gu the conditions for agreeing to him, and ask him to immediately disband the remaining Guanlong troops gathered in Zhongnan Mountain, and return to the city to wait." disposal."

This kind of thing can only be agreed verbally, and it must not be written on paper to leave evidence, otherwise, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it will eventually become a huge disaster...

"Here."

Wang De took the order, turned around and went out, took a few guards and rode straight to Zhongnan Mountain.

*****
Outside the Chunming gate, the left Wuwei camp.

Cheng Yaojin was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, holding a teacup in one hand, and looked at Zhang Xingcheng in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Xingcheng was dressed in normal attire, he was more like a merchant in the market than an official in the court, but his face was pale and his cheeks were thin, which was a little less gentle and a little more sharp than before.

But sitting in front of Cheng Yaojin at this moment, he is smiling and friendly...

"Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, our Shandong family has been suppressed. When Dou Jiandexiong swept Hebei and Wang Shichong ruled Luoyang, the whole of Shandong was full of wars and frequent wars, which hit the Shandong family deeply and damaged its foundation. Two After more than ten years of recuperation and gathering together, today we have finally recovered some of our previous strength, and it coincides with the rise of troops in Guanlong and the chaos of the court, and it is right to enter the court and uphold state affairs."

Zhang Xingcheng drank his tea and spoke slowly.

"Shandong" in later generations refers to the administrative region to the east of Taihang Mountain, and the so-called "Shandong" since the Warring States Period refers to the vast area east of Weishan Mountain and Hangu Pass. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, except for Qin, Qi Chu Yan Han Zhao Wei They are all located in the Shandong area, so they are also known as the "Six Kingdoms of Shandong"...

Cheng Yaojin put down his teacup and listened to Zhang Xingcheng's eloquent talk, expressionless.

Zhang Xingcheng looked at him and continued: "This is a golden opportunity. As long as Guan Long collapses, we can enter the court together with the Jiangnan gentry, fill the vacancy left by Guan Long's fall, and assist the crown prince to ascend the throne. Sheng Shiweiye...but right now the Crown Prince intends to let Guan Long go, and use his strength to check and balance us, which will cause us to struggle after entering the court, and this is something that all the heads of the Shandong family will not tolerate."

The drizzle was gurgling outside the window, Cheng Yaojin was silent for a long time, and finally said: "What does this have to do with me? The British Duke is the flag you chose, representing the will of all Shandong families. Now the British Duke holds hundreds of thousands of troops. I can change the color of the situation and the ups and downs of the country with the palm of my hand, I don't care about it."

How could he not know that since Zhang Xingcheng appeared here, it meant that there was a problem between the Shandong family and Li Ji, obviously he wanted to use him and Zuo Wuwei under his command to do something and seek benefits for the Shandong family... Will bring him great rewards, but he does not intend to mix.

He is nominally one of the spokespersons of the Shandong family in the imperial court, but he has never really become the first choice of the Shandong family. Those patriarchs who live in various places in Shandong may have long been decayed would rather choose a wife who married a woman from the Wang family of Taiyuan. Li Ji is unwilling to fully support him, a boy from Shandong with a positive root, which makes him both dissatisfied and cold.

Besides, he now has a tacit understanding with the East Palace in private, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be regarded as a servant of the dragon, why bother with the Shandong family?
If he obeys the order of the Shandong family and hinders the progress of the negotiations, cutting off the life of the Guanlongmen family, he will definitely hate the prince, how will he gain a foothold in the court in the future?

He wouldn't do anything that would be a disadvantage no matter what...

Zhang Xingcheng was still steady, and said with a smile: "The British Duke has a special status, how can he do everything by himself? On the contrary, Lu Guogong, I think it is better to participate in the actions of various families in Shandong. The relationship between people is getting better and better. Otherwise, even brothers and sisters will inevitably be unfamiliar."

Cheng Yaojin frowned, what do you mean by that?
Could it be that there was a disagreement between Li Ji and the Shandong family?

Zhang Xingcheng said again: "Of course, this matter is not to discuss with Lu Guogong, but to come here to inform."

These words are a bit tough... After turning his mind, Cheng Yaojin realized that Zhang Xingcheng's Fangcai's sentence "the British public can't do everything by himself" was not a metaphor, but was telling the truth.

Li Ji, as the banner of the Shandong family in the court, under the background that the prince is destined to ascend the throne, naturally he cannot be allowed to have friction with the East Palace, or even openly break up, that would be too much of a loss.

So he, Cheng Yaojin, was pushed out to do some dirty work, and he was the one who offended others...

Cheng Yaojin didn't get angry, his mind turned quickly, and he asked, "How do you plan to operate?"

The Crown Prince's intention to use Guan Long to fight against the powerhouses in Jiangnan and Shandong is very obvious. If Guan Long wants to save a chance and wait for his comeback in the future, he must cooperate with the Prince.

But Guan Long had just set off a mutiny to "depose the prince", which caused heavy casualties in the East Palace and almost achieved its goal, and then failed under the counterattack of the East Palace. , it is difficult to cooperate sincerely. If the right opportunity is found, it is not impossible to make the two sides turn against each other and completely break up...

Zhang Xingcheng sighed, and said helplessly: "Our power in the court is too weak, and we don't have much influence around the prince, so it's really too difficult to design cleverly and use a lot of money to achieve the goal, and we can only use stupid methods."

Cheng Yaojin wondered, "What stupid way?"

Zhang Xingcheng was unwilling to say more: "Don't worry about the details, we will handle it ourselves, and Lu Guogong only needs to express it at the right time."

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes."

……

When Zhang Xingcheng left, Cheng Yaojin sat alone in the tent of the Chinese army, weighing the pros and cons.

Obviously, even though the crown prince needs to balance the forces of all parties and therefore allows the Shandong family to enter the court, the Shandong family feels that the benefits gained by the two forces from Guanlong and Jiangnan are not enough, so the idea is to go to Guanlong He wants to overthrow and uproot him in one fell swoop, so as to have more benefits for the Shandong family to grab...

Desires are hard to fill.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and sighed. For the Shandong family, now is the best time to enter the imperial court in the past 20 years, and they urgently need to gain a firm foothold before trying to compete for more benefits.But those old guys are probably isolated from the center for too long, and their desire for power has reached the point of endless greed. They dream of being able to reach the sky in one step, completely occupying the court and holding the emperor, and recreating the glory of the powerful family in the Han Dynasty...

For him, the support of the Shandong family behind him is inseparable step by step. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with choosing Li Ji to be the banner of the Shandong family before, but wanting to split it is a victim of both sides. .

Just waiting to see what operations those old guys plan to use to sabotage the negotiations between Donggong and Guan Long. If the reasons are sufficient and the backlash is not big, he doesn't mind being another banner that is supported besides Li Ji...

"Come on!"

"exist!"

Calling the soldiers in, Cheng Yaojin ordered: "Send all the scouts out, I want to know everything inside and outside Chang'an, if there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

"Here!"

The soldiers left quickly, Cheng Yaojin sat behind the desk and looked out the window, but he saw dark clouds filling the sky and rolling in, covering the sky in an instant, and the sky was as dark as night.

Perhaps a heavy rain is brewing, and it is bound to pour down.
