Chapter 3809 Crisis Appears
Liu Ji was extremely sober about the development of the situation.
With the prestige of hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Ji reached an agreement with Guan Long to change the reserve, and after the collapse of the East Palace, he supported either the king of Wei or the king of Jin, so that Li Ji achieved the goal of monopolizing power.And Guan Long can also preserve his power, which is much better than negotiating with Donggong in any case... At that time, Donggong will die without a place to bury him!
As long as Li Ji "holds the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords" and the Guanlong Clan still stands above the imperial court, he, the confidant of the Eastern Palace, will surely suffer unparalleled suppression. What kind of civil servant leader, the prime minister of the court, all his lifelong ambitions will be in vain...
How could Liu Ji not be surprised, how could he not panic?
On the contrary, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who had always been ridiculed for being "weak and irresponsible", sat firmly on the mountain, glanced at the panicked Liu Ji, and said in a calm voice, "There is no need to be alarmed, Minister Liu, the sky will not fall down, it's okay."
"Uh……"
Liu Ji's anxious expression stopped abruptly as if he had been frozen, and he looked at the prince in disbelief.
so calm?
It was strange enough for Zhang Liang to enter the city to express his condolences at this time, and he met with Changsun Wuji in private. Obviously, the two sides had further reconciled and negotiated about the extermination of the Duan family in Jiunanyang.Once the Eastern Palace is defeated, the civil servants and generals who are attached to the Eastern Palace can still "choose a tree for a good bird to live in", but as a prince, there is absolutely no way out.
Why is the prince so calm and determined?
not right...
Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention to Liu Ji anymore. This gentleman still has abilities, but he is too utilitarian and his personality is too impetuous. He is usable but embarrassing to use.
He said to Li Junxian: "Pay close attention to every move of Guanlong in all aspects. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately! Go and inform Duke Wei and Duke Yue to come to discuss matters."
"Here."
Li Junxian took the order and left.
Li Chengqian waved to Liu Jie: "Come and sit."
Then let the waiter make a pot of hot tea and pour tea for the two of them.
Only then did Liu Ji come to his senses, looking at the calm prince, he felt a little ashamed and embarrassed, and sat facing the prince with his head bowed in silence.
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said warmly: "You don't need Liu Shizhong to worry too much about military affairs. Duke Wei and Duke Yue will take care of them. Both of these two are famous generals in the world. The task of Liu Shizhong is still to go beyond the peace talks, put more effort into trying to reach a peace talks with Guanlong, so as to eliminate the mutiny, the Duke of England can only put down his flag and drums."
Liu Jie nodded in obedience, feeling depressed and puzzled at the same time.
Whether it is Donggong, Guanlong, or even Li Ji, the three forces all agree that peace talks are the key to eliminating the mutiny. As long as Donggong and Guanlong reach peace talks, although all parties will suffer losses, it is the best deal at present. strategy.
However, there seems to be an invisible obstacle between all parties, preventing Donggong and Guan Long from reaching peace talks and eliminating the mutiny, making this mutiny unstoppable, and they can only continue to fight fiercely...
Who is stopping the progress of the peace talks?
Fang Jun?
Prince?
It seems to be, but it seems to be more than that...
When Liu Ji was hesitating and lost his mind, Li Jing and Fang Jun accepted the summons one by one.
After saluting, Li Chengqian recounted what Li Junxian had said about Zou Bing. At the end, he said to the two of them: "At present, Liu Shizhong should focus on discussing peace talks, but we must also guard against the rebels fighting to the death. Stay alert and don't give the enemy any chance."
The two nodded at the same time, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, although the situation is favorable, the army dare not slacken the slightest slack. All the troops are ready to guard against death, and there has never been a moment of negligence."
Fang Jun also said: "Outside the Xuanwu Gate, it is as solid as gold."
For some reason, Liu Jieming had repeatedly clashed with the military and was extremely dissatisfied with it, but at this moment when he heard Li Jing and Fang Jun's calm and determined words, his chaotic and hesitant mood calmed down in an instant, as if the backbone had stood firm , especially when Fang Jun said the phrase "solid as gold", Liu Jie believed that no army in the world could break through Fang Jun's position.
This made him a little ashamed, he is the future civil servant leader, he can't let others' ambition destroy his prestige...
Then he coughed dryly and said with a straight face: "The situation is urgent, don't take it lightly."
After saying this, I suddenly feel much more refreshed...
Li Jing and Fang Jun turned their heads to look at him together, then turned their heads back together, turning a blind eye to him.
Liu Ji: "..."
After all, I am also a dignified servant, how could you belittle me so much?Damn!
Li Chengqian obviously had almost the same feelings as Liu Ji, and seeing the two commanders speaking in unison with firm voices, his worries were all gone, and he said happily: "In this way, I will thank you both."
He also said to Liu Ji: "The current situation is difficult, we should work together to face the crisis, and swear to the death to maintain the Zhengshuo of the empire! We should also abandon civil and military disputes, unite as one, prevent the rebels from succeeding, and engrave our names in history Above, the name will last forever!"
The words stirred people's hearts and made people's blood rush, but Liu Ji felt very wronged: I did not start the civil and military dispute, even if you want to beat each other, you should hit [-] boards each, not just the humble officials one...
But at this time, it is absolutely impossible to show any grievances. Liu Jie looked solemn, nodded and said: "I swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and maintain the integrity of the empire. Even if my body is smashed to pieces, I will die!"
Li Chengqian smiled happily: "In times of crisis and overturning, you will not let me down, and when you succeed in the future, you will share the wealth and honor with you, and you will never owe me!"
This was His Royal Highness expressing his heart, and even a promise to his important ministers. Li Jing, Fang Jun, and Liu Ji hurriedly stood up, bowed to the ground, and said in unison: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
If the words "never bear the burden" come from the king's mouth, it is probably just a blank check, and it is of no use. Anyone who believes it is sand.But with Li Chengqian's weak and gentle personality, being able to say this in public, it can be seen that at least at this moment, he has made up his mind to write a good story about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, which will be praised by future generations and remembered in history.
It is also rare.
……
Li Chengqian left Fang Jun behind, and asked the waiter to heat up the already cold dinner, added two more side dishes, and invited Fang Jun to have dinner together.
Fang Jun didn't refuse either, and after thanking Li Chengqian, he sat horizontally under Li Chengqian, and the monarch and his ministers ate and chatted.
"The current situation is difficult and the conditions are difficult. Erlang has made great achievements and failed to reward him with glory. He feels guilty in his heart. When the overall situation is determined in the future, we will prepare a banquet and drink a lot."
Li Chengqian chewed and swallowed slowly, talking while eating, feeling quite emotional, not only because he felt guilty for not being able to celebrate Fang Junzhi's feats with the whole world, but also because he was a prince but was trapped in this world inside the heavy gate. Most of them were occupied by rebels, and the supplies in the palace were extremely scarce. Li Chengqian, who was well-clothed and well-fed since childhood, felt that it was too difficult...
Fang Jun ate the rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of tea, then looked at Li Chengqian seriously and said, "How can there be such a thing as hunger? Every frugality is also the way to cherish blessings and prolong life. Confucius said, "Food and sex are also sexual." Delicious food and beauty are what people want, they are inexhaustible, and they must be restrained in order to have long-term blessings, good health and longevity."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, sat upright, nodded and said: "What Erlang said is very true, this time of vigilance is appropriate, and we should never forget it."
He claims that he never has the majestic talents and strategies of Qin Huang, Han Wu, nor the broad-minded tolerance of mountains and seas like his father. .If you can't restrain your own desires and know how to stop and stop, you are very likely to become a tyrannical and incompetent lord like Jie and Zhou, not to mention ruining the empire, and putting all the people in the world in dire straits, and being reviled and stigmatized for thousands of years.
Li Chengqian still has the awareness to make up for his weakness with hard work...
Fang Jun laughed, and said: "These words were once said by a gifted scholar, but Your Highness may not have imagined that the person who can say such words of 'every frugality' is an old glutton who loves delicious food... However, this gentleman is extremely intelligent and understands the truth that too much is too much, so he can restrain himself every time he eats food, he is really a very special person."
At any time, a person who can restrain his inner desires must achieve extraordinary achievements far beyond ordinary people.
Li Chengqian was very interested: "Where is this person now? If the rebel army can be defeated and the overall situation can be settled, Erlang must introduce him to Gu in the future."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "This person is extremely talented, but he is unrestrained and uninhibited. He is unwilling to stick to one place. He vows to appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers, so his footprints are all over the world... I don't know where he is at the moment."
It will take hundreds of years for a foodie to be born, where can I find it for you now?
