Chapter 1106 The Inertia of History
For an official in the new century, it is a big deal to record a major mistake in the file. When it is time to make progress, such a stain will block the future. If you go to jail once, your political career is completely over.
Although the Tang Dynasty was not as strict in political censorship as in the New Century, in the end it was still a flaw. It would become a breakthrough point for political opponents to attack Jing'er, and he was extremely passive.
Of course Fang Jun couldn't swallow this breath.
What's more, his plan has been prepared for a long time. At this time, he is already thinking about whether to increase the intensity of the action to give the Guanlong Group a good pain...
*****
The auspicious snow has just begun, and the winter plum blossoms in the corner are blooming in the wind, with a faint fragrance floating around.
In the carved and painted main hall of Zhao Guogong's mansion, an earth dragon burns, and in the bronze beast stove in the corner of the room, sandalwood scent floats, making it warm and pleasant.
Changsun Wuji sat on the floor, fidgeting with the white porcelain tea cup in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Jun must retaliate. This time, his future was almost destroyed. How could he swallow this breath? Everyone, please Don't ignore this little one You may be deceived by his rough and violent appearance because of his strength and scheming, so keep your spirits up and don’t let Fang Jun take advantage of you. If you really fall into Fang Jun’s hands, you will be punished even if you don’t die. The delaminated skin..."
Opposite him, Wei Yuantong and Yu Zhining were also sitting on the floor. They were speechless after listening to Changsun Wuji's words.
Since Fang Jun was not beaten to death, he naturally had to be prepared for his backlash...
But no one knows when this backlash will come and in what form it will come. Fang Jun has always been ingenious in his actions, and his various methods are unconventional and traceless. Maybe he is powerful and violent like a fire burning the plains, maybe he is moisturizing silently like a gentle breeze blowing across his face. Who knows?
But the two of them weren't too worried.
The reason is simple. Even if Fang Jun retaliates violently, the first target will not be the two of them.
Wei Ting gave the Fang family a favor in the Fang Yize incident. Although Fang Jun was a tough guy, he was very affectionate, so this favor would have consequences.
The Yu family is a solid supporter of the prince, and they share the same spirit, prosperity and loss. With the prince in the middle, Fang Jun wouldn't think too much about his family.
What's more, these two companies are not the core of Guanlong Group, so they don't have to bear the brunt of Fang Jun's wrath.
Of course, none of them would have guessed that Fang Jun’s plan was to cover all aspects and knock down a whole boat of people with one stroke. He didn’t care whether you were the core or a follower...
Now Yu Zhining and Wei Yuantong are wondering why Changsun Wuji only called them two instead of the core figures of the Guanlong Group such as the Linghu family, the Hou Mochen family, and the Dugu family?
In this confrontation between the Guanlong Group and the imperial power, the Yu family, the Wei family, and the Dou family are all considered marginal figures. They have neither contributed nor contributed. They are already suspected of being separated from the Guanlong Group, and some even criticize them. These families want to turn against the emperor and become traitors...
Is it possible that the eldest son's family will give up their own interests and join the emperor's camp?
Changsun Wuji was sipping his teacup with a gloomy look on his face.
The hall fell into silence for a while, with only the north wind passing through the treetops in the courtyard, making a "woo-woo" sound.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "Your Majesty is determined to weaken the family members to consolidate the imperial power, and enhance the executive power of the three provinces and six ministries to achieve the goal of centralization. From the perspective of the empire, this is indeed Changzhi. Long Amway plans for the ages, but our family has accumulated the status and power from generation to generation. How much of the blood of our ancestors is involved? How can we give up the family business created by our ancestors like this?"
< br>
Yu Zhining and Wei Yuantong were confused, not knowing what Changsun Wuji wanted to say...
Isn't this exactly where the conflict between the imperial power and the aristocratic families lies?
The aristocratic families want to control the government, increase their say, and not control their life and death in the hands of the emperor; and the emperor wants to centralize power in the center, consolidate the imperial power, and prevent the aristocratic families from having the power to promote dynasty changes, build up a country, and destroy a country... …
This is an essential contradiction between the two parties and cannot be reconciled.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and prosperous, and both sides have maintained their rationality and tacitly agreed to limit the struggle to a range that both sides can tolerate. The emperor did not dare to push too hard and cause the family to collapse, otherwise the world would be in chaos and the throne would be unstable; the family did not dare to force the emperor to kill without a bottom line, otherwise the entire family would be wiped out...
As long as the bottom limit is controlled, even if the emperor wins in the end, there is no need to eradicate the family members, and the family members can continue their incense.
Both parties know that once the limit is exceeded, it is likely to end in mutual destruction...
This is unacceptable to anyone.
But Changsun Wuji, what do you mean by this?
Are you determined to have a showdown with the emperor?
Then why are you looking for the Linghu family, the Dugu family, and those of us who are half-hearted and unstable? We have all shown it so obviously, you are not still thinking about pulling me firmly on your chariot, are you?
Changsun Wuji also felt bitter in his heart.
How could he be willing to compromise with these two wallflowers?
According to his wishes, he also wants to be a wallflower and escape from this huge whirlpool!
Who else knows better than him what kind of person the emperor is?
That was a generation of saintly king with great talent, great strategy, and great martial prowess!
The consequences of going against him will never be better!
But now he can't escape...
His eldest grandson Wuji can be where he is today, and the eldest grandson family can be where they are today, all thanks to the support of the Guanlong Group and the love and care of His Majesty the Emperor. The former is more powerful. After all, it was the Guanlong Group when His Majesty Li Er was fighting for the world. It was only with great help that he succeeded, and his eldest son, Sun Wuji, was the spokesperson chosen by the Guanlong Group!
Now that he wants to leave his position as the spokesperson of Guanlong Group, he must devote himself to His Majesty Li Er for so long.
In the past, this would not have been a problem at all.
Because at that time, His Majesty Li Er had great trust in him and regarded him as a humerus. He kept nothing secret from him!
But now...
Changsun Wuji had no confidence.
Ever since Changsun Chong failed in his rebellion, things have happened one after another. Whether it is Changsun Wuji's subjective opinion or a coincidence constructed by magical destiny, His Majesty Li Er has become more and more dissatisfied with him. The rift between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
The originally close relationship has already drifted away...
Under such circumstances, even if I leave the Guanlong Group, can I still gain His Majesty's unconditional trust?
Without this trust, can the Changsun family maintain its previous position of power?
Therefore, for the sake of his family, he has no choice...
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji let go of the finger that was holding the teacup, looked up at the two of them, and said lightly: "Our Guanlong Group has been together for more than two hundred years, and the intertwined interests between each other have long been gone. Divide each other, as the saying goes, one will be prosperous and one will be deprived, how can it be done by simply parting ways? ”
Yu Zhining looked ugly and said displeasedly: "Is Zhao Guogong trying to beat us up?"
He was unhappy, but his words were polite.
Where is the knocking here?
It's clearly a threat!
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Our families have been married for generations, and our interests are deeply entangled. We have long been like a family and have no distinction between each other. How can we say that we have a two-hundred-year friendship?" With such harsh words?”
Yu Zhining's face was as sinking as water, he didn't argue and kept silent.
Do all members of the aristocratic family attach great importance to interests and treat each other as one family? Haha, even if they are really brothers, how many of them would draw a knife and stab someone when their personal interests are at stake?
The most typical example is His Majesty Li Er. In order to survive the persecution of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and for the supreme throne that reigns over the world, didn't he still raise the butcher's knife against his own brothers?
In the face of interests, don’t talk about friendship...
Wei Yuantong drank tea quietly without saying a word.
He knew that Changsun Wuji would eventually tell him what he was thinking today, so he was not in a hurry.
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard under his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The day after tomorrow will be someone's birthday, and all your majesty's legitimate sons will come to the mansion to congratulate someone on his birthday. By then, I hope you two can come and accompany me. Let’s meet His Royal Highness King Jin together..."
Like a thunderbolt, it exploded in the ears of Yu Zhining and Wei Yuantong.
...His Royal Highness King Jin? ! (End of chapter)
