Chapter 3083 The general trend
Fang Jun was sighing to himself when he heard Wu Meiniang ask: "Recently, the atmosphere in Beijing has become increasingly inappropriate. People in the city are talking about Tuyuhun's intention to rebel. Everyone is worried, lest Tuyuhun raise troops to capture Hexi and threaten Guanzhong. North Korea Apart from sending Cui Shilang to negotiate peace, are there no other measures to prevent this? ”
When she said this, Wu Meiniang was worried.
Although her political talent is not at full level, it is much better than ordinary people. She naturally understands the danger that will arise if Tuyuhun rebels.
However, apart from sending Cui Dunli to Tuyuhun, the imperial court has done nothing else so far. Is it just that they are placing their hope on Cui Dunli, thinking that he can defeat Tuyuhun?
This is not a question of how capable Cui Dunli is, because as long as Tuyuhun believes that the rebellion can break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and even regain the glory of their ancestors, then they will raise troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty at all costs, even if there are corpses everywhere.
Forget about Cui Dunli, even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin were resurrected, it would be impossible to convince Tuyuhun...
Fang Jun took a sip of tea, leaned back on the chair, and said: "Currently, the troops in Guanzhong are empty. If we can talk about it, it is naturally the best choice. It's okay to let Tuyuhun take advantage. It's just a trade-off. But His Highness already has it. Decide that if the situation collapses, we will send Zuo Tun Guards out of the capital to station in Hexi to scare Tuyuhun."
Princess Gaoyang was surprised and said: "Zuotunwei? What about Taiji Palace?"
No matter how lazy she was to pay attention to the affairs of the court, she still knew that the left and right guards stationed at the Xuanwu Gate were the protection of the palace. Once the left guards were transferred out of the capital, only the right guards would be left. Whether they could secure the Taiji Palace for the time being Regardless, who can trust Fang Jun to guard the gate of the forbidden palace alone?
They are all family members. Although the matter has not yet been decided, there is no need to hide it. Fang Jun said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will move to Xingqing Palace temporarily. The Yuan Cong Forbidden Army will guard Zhouquan, and the Youtun Guard under a certain command will be responsible for it. Take on the responsibility of guarding Chang'an"
Princess Gaoyang nodded slightly.
Now that the father is not in Chang'an, if the prince moves to Xingqing Palace, then Taiji Palace will naturally be insignificant. No one will rush in and kidnap those concubines and young princes and princesses, right?
It’s useless to hold him hostage...
Wu Meiniang frowned and said: "I'm afraid the court will not agree."
The word "checks and balances" is the way to stabilize the world. The left and right guards stationed at the Xuanwu Gate guarded the Xuanwu Gate. In addition to being strong and safe, they also had the intention of checking and balancing each other. Only in this way could the Xuanwu Gate be guaranteed to be safe. Even if one of them started to rebel, there would be another guard to suppress it.
But if Zuo Tunwei is transferred out of the capital to Hexi, and only Youtunwei is left to guard the capital, then the entire city of Chang'an will fall into the hands of the prince. How can the Jin King and his supporters sleep in peace?
It is bound to create trouble and block this proposal.
Fang Jun sighed and said: "There is never a way to have the best of both worlds in things in this world. Success and failure are all battles in the struggle until the final result. Gains and losses, success and failure, let alone because of It depends on the will of the person, as long as you work hard and have a clear conscience.”
No wonder he felt emotional, since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, the entire Tang Empire has been plunged into a magnificent historical process. Every thought of each person may affect the development of the situation, and no one can control it perfectly.
The talented and resourceful His Majesty Li Er can't do it, the wily Changsun Wuji can't do it, and the second-generation man Fang Jun can't do it either.
In such a vast and majestic situation, everyone is just an insignificant wave, and all they can do is follow the trend.
However, history has inertia. Once the situation is unpredictable and the way forward cannot be controlled, it is very likely that it will suddenly merge into the original historical trajectory at a certain point. At that time, even if Fang Jun's actions over the years cannot be said to be meaningless, all his efforts will be in vain.
The aristocratic families still occupy the court and control its resources, the frontier army still silently develops its troops, and the court still falls into endless internal strife due to various power struggles...
Until the empire collapsed and troubled times returned.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the heroes of the Shenzhou Bandang fought in melee, gradually exhausting the vigor of Chinese men. When Chen Qiao rebelled and wore yellow robes, the restrictions on generals could not be further increased. Not only were civilian officials superior to military generals, but even eunuchs could become supervisors.
The collapse of the Song and Ming dynasties actually had little to do with national power.
When the martial culture of a country does not exist, everyone from emperors, generals, and ministers to traders and foot soldiers will praise articles to the highest level, and civil servants will be superior, but they will relegate martial arts to the mud. "Everything is inferior, but reading is good." The idea that "good men should not be soldiers" is deeply rooted, how can they not be ravaged by aliens and reduced to slavery?
The martial spirit is the backbone of a country.
Why did the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties become so powerful outside the region and sweep across the barbarians? Since it is related to its martial arts style.
Therefore, the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties perished within, while the Song and Ming dynasties perished outside.
Empress Dowager Cixi's words "I would rather be a friend than a domestic slave" became the reason for ridicule and ridicule by later generations. However, if you think about it carefully, although the Song and Ming dynasties never said such words, and even had a very tough attitude toward foreign affairs, they Isn't the implementation of national policy no different from what Empress Dowager Cixi said?
The military generals were suppressed tightly. Although there was no longer the risk of "yellow robes", the domestic warlords had no chance to rebel, but they gave the foreigners an opportunity to rise and grow. In the end, the country was cut off and the country was broken...
Fang Jun did not allow Datang to go down the old path of warlord separatism and foreign invaders. However, the current situation was no longer something that manpower could calmly intervene.
As the saying goes, people make plans and God makes things happen. This may be the case.
No matter how violent the waves are, how can they change the flow of the river?
*****
early morning.
The air is crisp after the rain and the sun is shining brightly.
In front of the political hall, the prime ministers, ministers, and political advisors arrived one after another in twos and threes. After entering the hall, they found their seats and sat down. Then a clerk made a pot of fragrant tea in a teacup and placed it on the table in front of him.
Generally speaking, although the Zhengshitang is currently the highest administrative agency in the Tang Empire, its work style is not rigorous and its rules are fewer than those of the six yamen.
Fang Junzheng and Xiao Yu walked to the door together, and saw Cen Wenwen coming behind him panting, supported by two scribes.
He hurriedly greeted him, took the place of a clerk and supported Cen Wenwen's left arm, and said with concern: "Jing Rengong is not in good health. He might as well rest at home instead of coming to the political hall every day. You are a veteran of the empire, and you have With you here, our juniors have a backbone. If something happens to you, how can we sustain this situation?”
Cen Wenwen took a breath, stopped in front of the political hall, with a smile on his face covered with age spots, and said: "I accept Erlang's intention. However, His Majesty is currently on an expedition in Liaodong, and Tuyuhun is about to take action. , seems to be rebellious, how can I stay here even if I am at home? It is better to come over and listen to the situation. Even if I can't come up with any ideas, I don't have to worry all day long, so I can feel at ease."
This is really not a lie.
At his age, he has already passed the time of fighting for power and wealth. He just wants to stand on the last post. When His Majesty returns to Beijing, he will immediately beg his bones and return to his hometown.
There is nothing to worry about at home.
My son has great literary talent and can do well in learning, but his behavior is lacking. It is enough for him to inherit his title and live a wealthy life. My nephew Cen Changqian is smart and talented. Now he is in the academy, taught by famous scholars, and has the status of "the emperor's disciple". It is natural that he will become successful in time, but how far he can go is not what he can do. Take control.
Therefore, for Cen Wenwen, he has almost reached the state of "no desires and no pursuits". He only thinks about starting well and ending well, and he has no regrets.
At this time, Li Daozong, who had just arrived, stepped forward, took Cen Wenwen's other arm, and together with Fang Jun, helped Cen Wenwen into the political hall.
In the political hall, many ministers, ministers, and scribes saw Cen Wenwen and stood up to say hello. Even Li Chengqian stood up and gave a few words of comfort.
When everyone sat down, Xiao Yu looked around and said: "His Royal Highness is here today because of the Tuyuhun matter. Cui Dunli has been going to Tuyuhun King Fushun's tent for many days, but so far nothing has been heard, and no news has been sent back. I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Yu. Under this situation, Tuyuhun cannot be allowed to make trouble, and the court must make a decision to deal with the worst situation. "
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "His Highness's intention is to transfer the Zuo Tun Guards to Hexi to guard the Liang, Gan, Su, and Gua prefectures. What do you think?" (End of Chapter)
