You Wenzhi has long been unable to complain about Chai Zhewei's hesitation and indecision.
In terms of strength, not only the Guanzhong area, which is short of major generals, is respected by Zuo Tunwei, even in the past when the sixteen guards were all guarding Gyeonggi, the Zuo Tunwei stationed in strategic places such as Xuanwu Gate were still first-class. As a result, it was Chai Zhewei's hesitant character of cherishing interests that caused Zuo Tunwei not only to be suppressed by the world's powerful army like Left and Right Wuwei, but even the right Tunwei who was separated by a wall climbed to the top.
In terms of family background, after Emperor Gaozu raised his army in Jinyang, his mother, Princess Pingyangzhao, gathered the heroes of Guanzhong, mobilized Sizhu to raise an army, and led the "lady" to make great achievements. She selected elite soldiers to join forces with King Qin Li Shimin on the north bank of the Weihe River, and jointly defeated Chang'an, making great achievements...
However, to this day, Chai Zhewei has been repeatedly suspected by His Majesty Li Er. If he didn't take shelter of his mother's achievements in the past, how could he be stationed at Xuanwu Gate?
Character determines achievement...
But You Wenzhi also understands that no matter how unbearable Chai Zhewei is, he is also the help that King Jing Li Yuanjing has to rely on to achieve great things. If it were not for Chai Zhewei leading the Zuo Tunwei to capture Xuanwumen, not only would the clan headed by Li Yuanjing not be able to get their hands on the throne, even the Guanlongmen Clan Can't beat them all.
You Wenzhi was about to step forward to persuade, when he saw the soldiers from outside quickly stepping in, he said in a low voice: "Commander, His Royal Highness King Jing is asking to see you outside the gate."
Chai Zhewei was taken aback for a moment, and finally stopped, his brows were frowned, and he didn't respond for a while.
You Wenzhi hastily stepped forward and said: "The commander-in-chief can be regarded as a 'rare commodity to live in' at the moment. No matter which party wants to achieve great things, it cannot do without the support of the commander-in-chief. Therefore, the Duke of Zhao Guoye visited first, and now His Royal Highness King Jing is here in person. Come on. But as the saying goes, we should shop around, we should pursue the best interests before making a decision.”
Chai Zhewei glanced at You Wenzhi, and snorted coldly: "How much favor did King Jing give you to make you speak for him like this?"
His personality is indeed problematic, but he is not stupid.
The one with the greatest advantage at the moment is naturally the Guanlongmen Clan. After all, one hundred thousand rebels have already entered Chang'an City, and the entire city except the imperial city is already under its control. It only needs to capture the imperial city to dethrone the East Palace and achieve great things .
And Jing Wang Li Yuanjing seems to have won over some clans, but the power is far from it.
Normally speaking, it would be safest to seek refuge with the Guanlong Clan, but You Wenzhi fought for King Jing from the beginning to the end, if he did not accept the benefits of King Jing, it is absolutely impossible.
On the other hand, You Wenzhi looked upright, and said solemnly: "How dare the final general be fooled by the future of the commander in chief? In any case, the commander in chief should meet His Royal Highness King Jing, listen to what he has to say, and see what he will say." Conditions, after weighing, make a decision."
Chai Zhewei thought it made sense, and said, "Alright, let him in."
After finishing speaking, he returned to the desk and sat down.
As for whether You Wenzhi accepted King Jing's benefits, he didn't really care too much.The so-called "people make money and birds die for food", at such critical moments that matter to the empire, as long as he doesn't blindly coax him to make wrong choices by ignoring his interests, it doesn't matter if he receives some benefits.
In fact, isn't he Chai Zhewei himself up for sale?
Human common sense, don't be harsh...
After a while, Li Yuanjing, dressed in a brocade robe, stepped inside.
Chai Zhewei stood up and bowed in salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jing."
"Haha, why do we need to be so polite between our uncles and nephews? Get up quickly!"
Li Yuanjing looked affectionate and loving, stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help Chai Zhewei up.
When the two of them were seated, Chai Zhewei was not polite and cut straight to the point: "Your Highness is here this time, do you have something to order?"
Seeing that Chai Zhewei was so direct, Li Yuanjing nodded and said: "Exactly. The current situation is urgent. The Guanlong rebels have already occupied Chang'an City and besieged the imperial city. Once the imperial city falls, the rebels can go straight to Taiji Palace and shake the country. , overthrow the country! We are loyal ministers and good generals, how can we sit back and ignore the rebellion and disasters and shake the country? This king has already contacted the clan kings and assembled an army of more than ten thousand people, intending to enter through the Xuanwu Gate and help The state of the country, ordering out of chaos, I don't know what will happen to Qiao Guogong's will?"
Chai Zhewei clicked his tongue and said to himself, what good is it for you to talk about it? How do you ask me to answer if you ask me if I want to do it so bluntly?
You Wenzhi looked at the words and expressions from the side, and hurriedly said: "I want to report to His Royal Highness King Jing, to be honest, Zhao Guogong also came earlier earlier, begging my family's general to lead the army into the city and break through the imperial city, but what he said is not the same as His Highness's." for being different."
Li Yuanjing woke up in panic and realized that it was Changsun Wuji who made a wish for Chai Zhewei. Although he didn't know what it was for the time being, he had to show his sincerity in order to impress Changsun Wuji.
After all, the Guanlongmen faction is very powerful now, if their own conditions can't surpass Changsun Wuji by a large margin, why should Chai Zhewei follow him?
He had already had a plan in his mind, but he forgot it because of negligence just now, and said quickly: "At this time when the empire is in danger and the country is in ruins, it is a great achievement for us to send troops to help the country! As Zaifu and Minister of the Ministry of War, his meritorious service is at the top, and he will go to the Zhu Kingdom!"
Chai Zhewei's heart skipped a beat.
Today's post of Minister of the Ministry of War has greatly increased his power because of Fang Jun's existence. He has directly entered the central government to rule the world, and is in charge of the logistics of the world's soldiers and horses. He has great power.And once you become the prime minister, you will be one of the most powerful people in the empire. Who can resist the power of "the prime minister governing the world"?
Not to mention that the "Shangzhu Kingdom" is the pinnacle of military feats, and it cannot be awarded except for the military exploits of expanding the territory and destroying the enemy's country...
Although Li Yuanjing is only drawing big cakes here, even after accomplishing great things, the Zuo Tunwei under his command is still a force that can influence the situation in Guanzhong, how dare Li Yuanjing live up to his words?
However, Chai Zhewei struggled in his mind, wondering why: "The violence in the Eastern Palace is not the image of the ruler. Guan Long went straight to the capital to shake up the state, and he is a traitor. However, his purpose is to dethrone the Eastern Palace and push the King of Jin to the throne. This is very interesting. It may have been acquiesced by His Majesty, so it has a very high chance of success. But you are different, Your Majesty, even if you want to turn things around and put things right this time, if you want to go further...the nature is completely different."
The meaning in the words was not made clear, but it was completely uncovered.
To put it bluntly, Sun Wuji, the patriarch of the family, just dethroned a prince and installed another prince. This kind of behavior is very likely to be acquiesced by His Majesty Li Er. Everyone knows.
But if you, Your Highness King Jing, want to go further, you can only usurp the throne... You are a rebel!
"Ha ha……"
Li Yuanjing sneered, looked at Chai Zhewei, and said slowly: "Why, Duke Qiao really thinks that Changsun Wuji dared to march into Chang'an to besiege the imperial city, just to bet on His Majesty's heart, and finally he can acquiesce in their actions?"
Chai Zhewei was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
"It's wrong to type wrong!"
Li Yuanjing's voice was stern: "You are so confused! Changsun Wuji is such a sinister man, the city government is deep and foresighted, how can he entrust the lives of Guan Long and his majesty to His Majesty's joy and anger? Why did he dare to enter the city so unscrupulously?" , must be fully sure that His Majesty will not be punished by His Majesty's fury after the matter is completed! May I ask, under what circumstances can He be sure that His Majesty will not punish his subjects for arbitrarily sending troops to depose the Eastern Palace and treat the imperial power as nothing?"
Chai Zhewei's complexion changed drastically: "My lord is saying... no way?! Absolutely impossible!"
Li Yuanjing slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "How is it impossible? Your Majesty must have been caught up in something, otherwise even if you lend the courage to Changsun Wuji, he dares to do this? You only see that the Liaodong army has no sound so far, just blindly You can get a glimpse of it by rushing back to Guanzhong."
Chai Zhewei was dumbfounded.
Your Majesty was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dragon and the tiger were fierce, but he died in Liaodong?
It's unbelievable.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat possible, otherwise, how would Changsun Wuji dare to usurp the imperial power in such a way and send troops to disrupt Chang'an?
When Li Yuanjing saw Chai Zhewei's move, he made persistent efforts and said: "If your majesty is safe, we will help and protect the country by defeating the rebel army, and it is the merit of protecting the country. When your majesty returns to Chang'an in the future, he will naturally reward us for our merits; If His Majesty really encounters an accident...then this king is His Majesty's brother and sister, brother and brother, as per the law of etiquette!"
Since the beginning of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the principles of "brothers end up with younger brothers" and "father dies and sons succeed" have always existed as the principle of succession to the throne. It is correct in legal theory.
