Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4129 Take precautions
The third thousand and seventy chapters prepare for the incident
Even Xiao Yu, who strongly opposes him, has to admit that these words make sense. Most things in the world are like this. Many times, there is a preconceived notion. Even if everyone knows it is wrong, it will become a habit if it continues in the long run. Knowing that it is right, you will not get used to sudden changes for a while.

The current situation is like this, as long as the crown prince is allowed to ascend the throne smoothly, and then he can be the emperor for a while, the group of people who are originally indispensable will naturally turn to support, and even the opponents will gradually wear down their will, subconsciously. Willing to continue to do those resistances that are destined to cost a lot...

When the two sides were arguing and Li Zhi was dizzy, a soldier entered the house and reported that it was Qinghe Cui Xin who had come to see His Royal Highness King Jin.

Xiao Yu clapped his palms and was overjoyed: "Since Cui Xin has come, it can be seen that there is good news, please hurry up!"

Li Zhi smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's acting as a substitute, but he didn't show it at all, he still had the appearance of a gentle and respectful corporal...

After a while, Cui Xin, who had white beard and hair, stepped inside and bowed to the ground: "Cui Xin, a grass-roots man, has met His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

The Cui family of Qinghe is not only the head of the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes", but also the leader of the Shandong family. At this moment, they suddenly appear in Chang'an to support them. How can Li Zhi neglect it?

Standing up and coming to Cui Xin, he said with a big smile, "Back when Cao Mengde was in trouble at Guandu, Xu You went to him in the middle of the night, eventually defeated Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops, and achieved eternal supremacy. Show grand plans, reach the top of the universe, come, come, please take your seat!"

He took Cui Xin's hand affectionately, ignored his refusal, directly pulled him to the main seat, and sat down next to him.

The Cui family of Qinghe, with five surnames and seven wangs, is the pinnacle of the world's powerful family. Even if the emperor wanted to weaken its influence, he could only come up with a roundabout way of compiling "Clan Chronicles", instead of grandiosely relying on imperial power to crush it.

Being able to get the help of the Qinghe Cui family means that the entire Shandong family has spared no effort to stand behind him. With such a huge help, why worry about big things not being accomplished?
The prince brother is really stupid. Even if he deeply feels the constraints and threats of the aristocratic family on the imperial power, he can wait until he ascends the throne to weaken and cut off. Why express his political ideas early and become an enemy of the world's aristocrats?

Even if the emperor is as powerful and powerful as his father, he could only rely on the help of the Guanlong clan to win the world. After the expansion of the clan was suppressed and the influence of the clan was weakened, after the imperial power was stabilized, how could you dare to risk the world for a mere prince? Is it so bad?
If it wasn't for the prince's eagerness to pursue his father's strategy of suppressing the powerful to govern the country in the early years, why would Changsun Wuji keep instigating his father to depose the prince and replace him with the crown prince?
Xiao Yu couldn't wait to ask: "I wonder if Mr. Cui will go well after he enters the city?"

Previously, the Guanlongmen faction's remonstrance made him understand one of the most obvious but often overlooked truths - to achieve great things, it is not enough to rely solely on those civil servants. Even if the public opinion in the world is one-sided, the final decision is still the army.

The handle of the knife is not in his hand, and no matter how reasonable his words are, he is just farting.

Therefore, if you want to help the King of Jin to succeed at the moment, one lies in the right Houwei, and the other lies in the Left Martial Guard - the former can protect the King of Jin to "fight against rebels", while the latter can take the time to defend the capital, and at the same time convey to the outside world that the prince is missing. Virtue, humans and gods were abandoned together, the fact that the king of Jin gained the way and the world helped him a lot.

The military and public opinion must be grasped at the same time, and both hands are equally strong. This is the way to get things done.

Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would command Zuo Wuwei to guard Chang'an City to the death, and the Sixth Commander of the East Palace would chase You Houwei outside the city to fight in the field, and the remaining [-] guards with unknown positions would stare at them from the sidelines. King Jin may not be able to support Shandong and Jiangnan. The warlord rushed to help Chang'an.

Cui Xin chuckled, stroked his snow-white beard, and said slowly: "Your Highness is destined by heaven, and naturally everything can be accomplished, and gods and ghosts can change things... I will fulfill my mission."

Li Zhi's eyes sparkled, and he asked anxiously, "What did Duke Lu say?"

Cui Dao said: "Duke Lu is the leader of the country, and he doesn't want to fight against each other and kill each other. As long as His Highness presents His Majesty's will to the world, the army will be restrained and will not be involved in the battle for succession."

Li Zhi was overjoyed.

"Hey!"

Yu Chigong, who could no longer hide his excitement, patted the table lightly, beaming with joy: "You don't need Lu Guogong to enter the palace with sharp swords and guns, as long as you stand still and watch from the sidelines, I will lead the tigers under my command to defeat the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace, it depends on the battle." Victory!"

He was coerced by the Guanlongmen clan to join the King Jin's camp before, which made him worry about gains and losses, and worried, fearing that failure would lead to a catastrophe.Now that he suddenly found that the situation on King Jin's side is very good, he is naturally full of confidence, hoping to create a career and improve his official position and title.

Who can ignore the temptation of the "feudal side"?
Of course, if Cheng Yaojin completely fell for the King of Jin and led his troops directly into the palace to wipe out the prince's party, he would make great achievements, and no one else in the world could match him. What's the matter with him, Yu Chigong?Now Cheng Yaojin is twitchy, ashamed when he wants to greet him, and if he wants to be a cousin, he has to go to the memorial archway.

The hometown of Hubei is in the south of Jiangxia, east of Liangzi Lake, and adjacent to the Yangtze River. Although there are many swamps and hills in the land, it has a vast area. If it can be strictly managed, it must be a rich land.

As long as you can feudalize the hometown of Hubei, and your children and grandchildren will continue to multiply, how can a mere first-class prince be comparable...

Xiao Yu's face was gloomy, how could he not see Guan Long's desire to grab credit?
But right now Houhou Wei is the main force to support and protect the King of Jin, so he must not let him lose his morals, so he turned his head and asked Cui Xin: "How did Duke Lu agree? Can you open the city gate to welcome King Jin into the city?"

Cui Xin shook his head and said: "At the end of the day, the crown prince is still the crown prince of the country. Duke Lu is loyal to the country and His Majesty, so he refuses to lead troops into the city or enter the palace. When His Royal Highness King Jin rises, Duke Lu will lead the army Gather in the area of ​​the Daci'en Temple in the south of the city, and watch from the sidelines until the outcome of the imperial city is decided and the overall situation is settled, then they will come forward to clean up the mess."

Yuchi Gong clicked his lips, the excitement just now slightly diminished.Compared with his own life and death, Cheng Yaojin can get the first share of the first merit just by standing by, the gap between this is not ordinary...

But he couldn't envy him. As the most trusted general of His Majesty Li Er, he was constrained by all parties, and Cheng Yaojin took advantage of it to guard Chang'an. As a result, His Majesty died suddenly, and the situation deteriorated instantly.

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin refused to completely attach himself to him, Li Zhi was a little disappointed. If Cheng Yaojin's surrender would be like adding wings to a fierce tiger, he could go straight to Taiji Palace to take the enemy's heart, and wipe out the East Palace with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops. The outcome of the battle is decided before it even begins.

But how can the world go as expected, Cheng Yaojin promised to watch the fire from the other side and not intervene in it, this is already an excellent result, otherwise, with the combat power of Zuo Wuwei to defend Chang'an with its high walls and thick walls, the mighty Donggong Six will be defeated by Li Jing Under the command to fight in the field outside the city, how can I have the slightest chance?
Yuwen Shiji looked at the sky, and said: "There are still two hours before dawn, please Your Highness draw up the 'Request for Rebellion', and at the same time show His Majesty's last edict, make it public and publish it all over the world, and then raise your troops and go straight to the capital. After the 'big funeral'."

During the "big burial" ceremony, the crown prince recited the sacrificial texts and accepted the worship of all officials. In fact, the status of the emperor and his ministers was already confirmed. After the funeral was over and the large emperor's body was sent to Zhaoling to rest, the enthronement ceremony could be held and the official Zhaoling ceremony would be held. Tell the world, the new emperor succeeds.

Therefore, the king of Jin must rush ahead of the "big burial", expose to the world the prince's conspiracy to poison the emperor and persecute his brothers, and raise his arms to conquer the traitors, so as to gain a legal advantage.

Then the censors and civil officials made a noise in the government and the public, forming a mighty trend, engulfing the hearts and minds of the people, so why not worry about major events?

Everyone is excited.

Chu Suiliang, who had been silent for a while, hesitated, and asked softly: "If the situation changes and it is not good to attack Tai Chi Palace, how should we deal with it?"

He felt that the current King Jin family lacked a real strategic designer and a commander who was well versed in military strategy, so they were a little impetuous up and down, taking things for granted, thinking on the bright side of everything, but frustrated by the uprising. The way out after that is unclear.

Chi Gong, the Duke of E, is a brave general of the three armies, but in terms of strategy, he is far behind Li Jing and Li Ji's generation.
Things in the world will never be smooth sailing, let alone run according to human will. No matter how perfect the plan is, there will still be negligence and slack, which will lead to hesitation in the process and long-term success. As the saying goes, "it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to heaven to make things happen."

It is also said that "before thinking about victory, think about defeat." If you are not well prepared to face difficulties, once you encounter failure, the result is likely to be chaotic and defeated...

The excitement in the account was slightly reduced. They are all wise men in the world. Although they lacked consideration for a while, they were reminded by Chu Suiliang and immediately realized that they were indeed a bit too optimistic.

This is the ultimate battle for the throne, how can everything go smoothly and naturally?
Even Yu Chigong, who is the most rebellious, frowned. He had to face the Six Rates of the East Palace ruled by Li Jing, Li Ji who had no clear position, and Fang Jun who had made great achievements in battle... Who would dare to say lightly that he would win?

What's more, Cheng Yaojin just agreed to stand on the sidelines, if the situation changes, who can guarantee that Cheng Yaojin will not follow the trend to the East Palace and fight back?
There are other sixteen generals who are watching the situation, who can really understand their position?

The feeling is like pouring a ladle of cold water on the head, and the excitement calms down instantly.

Xiao Yu glanced at Yuwen Shiji, who was silent and had no good idea, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "When Your Majesty was seriously ill, the clans in Jiangnan and Shandong had already gathered soldiers and raised food and fodder for emergencies. When His Majesty passed away, I have sent people to go all the way to pass the message, and when the message is received, the soldiers of each family will rush to Guanzhong day and night."

How could he regard Youhouwei, who belonged to the Guanlongmen Clan, as the main force for King Jin to seize the heir?Even if everything is done in the end, the greatest benefits will be seized by the Guanlongmen Clan.

Therefore, it is very likely that there are more than 20 family soldiers gathered by powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan, which is where his confidence lies.
