Chapter 3175 Afraid of chaos
From ancient times to the present, the principle of "the greater the risk, the greater the reward" has been verified by countless examples and is irrefutable.
Let nature take its course, the reputation of the Chai family fell into the dust, the whole family was ridiculed, and future generations were suppressed.
If you take a desperate risk, you can change the day. How can all the mistakes in the past compare to the merit of following the dragon? The humiliation of the past will never be mentioned again, and the world will only praise and flatter you, and there will be a flood of flattery.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er is now at the peak of his power, and is about to bring the might of a great victory in the Eastern Expedition. Who dares to deceive you behind your back? As long as His Majesty Li Er lives for one day, no one will dare to do anything without permission, and all plans can only wait until His Majesty Li Er passes away.
From the current point of view, this will take at least ten or twenty years.
Chai Zhewei, who has been lying dormant and forbearing for more than ten or twenty years, admits that it is not difficult for him to do so. However, although it is still far away from the launch, he still has to maintain a certain degree of intimacy with King Jing, otherwise how can he gain his trust and become an assistant? The core force of Daye?
As for His Majesty Li Er and his disciples... Chai Zhewei didn't even think about it.
Since some things have been done, the benefits must be maximized. Among His Majesty Li Er's disciples, whether the King of Wei or the King of Jin, Guan Long nobles have long been standing behind him. Even if he joins them, it is just the icing on the cake. How to compare with going to King Jing to provide help in times of need?
However, just as he warned Chai Lingwu, "This is a serious matter, so we need to be cautious." If you are not careful, you may be in catastrophe...
*****
The news of the great victory in Hexi was like a hurricane blowing through Chang'an City, causing shock to the government and the public.
There are different factions, different interests, and different demands. Therefore, it was originally a great victory to boost morale and eliminate crises, but because it involves the fundamental interests of all parties, some people are happy and some are worried.
His Royal Highness King Jing is naturally one of those who is full of melancholy...
In the flower hall of the palace, Li Yuanjing drank the fragrant tea, but he didn't know what it tasted like, and he sighed long and short.
The charming and charming Dong Mingyue knelt down beside her, lifted the teapot with her slender hands, poured tea for her, and comforted her softly: "Those who achieve great things have always gone through hardships and setbacks, and their dreams have never come true. This time it didn't happen." If you get an opportunity, just endure it and seize it when the next opportunity comes.”
Li Yuanjing sighed and said: "Time is not with me!"
What he seeks is nothing more than taking millet from the fire.
At present, His Majesty Li Er is in his prime. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to commit such treacherous and unethical things. No one knows His Majesty Li Er's prestige better than him. As long as His Majesty Li Er is alive for one day, no one in this world can commit such a crime. To cause rebellion, to rebel and seize.
But just because we don't dare to think about that position now doesn't mean we have to wait for the game to develop step by step and let nature take its course.
Only in turmoil can there be an opportunity.
Originally, Tuyuhun rebelled and raised troops to attack the counties in Hexi, which was an excellent opportunity. The four sides are shaken, Guanzhong is in danger, and people from all walks of life have their own thoughts. As long as Tuyuhun captures the counties in Hexi, someone in the court will take advantage of the situation and take action to endanger the crown prince's position.
What he wants is civil strife within the royal family.
As long as the crown prince is deposed and the throne changes hands, it means that the "ancestral succession" method does not work. At first, His Majesty Li Er took the position as the second son, but now that the eldest son is deposed, he will give it to someone else. A natural message - the throne is no longer inherited by the direct eldest son, but by the capable person.
As long as this trend spreads and Li Yuanjing covets the big treasure in the future, no one can legally stop him.
Look, His Majesty Li Er did this, and his sons did the same, why can’t I?
Since ancient times, "the right name means the right words", this is the most important thing. If you don't have a righteous name, even if you really sit in that position, you are just a "rebellious minister" and cannot win the support and respect of the people in the world. . Even if a great treasure is stolen, one day it will be hard to escape "bringing order to order", leaving a legacy of infamy for thousands of years and causing disaster to future generations.
However, just such an opportunity to prove that the prince was "not blessed by God" was abruptly interrupted by Fang Er's stick.
Li Yuanjing sighed again and said depressedly: "The thing I regret most is that I was unable to keep Fang Er under my wings all the time... But who could have imagined that the brash, ignorant, stupid boy back then would How could he suddenly be transformed one day into a man of extraordinary talent and talent? ”
This matter has always been a barrier in his heart, crossing his chest, and he gets panicked every time he thinks about it.
If I had been able to keep Fang Jun under my command back then, wouldn't my success rate for Dabao's success increase exponentially with the abilities that Fang Jun has shown today, as well as the status, power, and military strength he controls?
Of course, he also knew that this was not actually his fault. He himself had done nothing wrong. It was just that the second roommate suddenly changed into a different person, talented in both civil and military affairs.
The most important thing is that people suddenly stopped playing with him...
Not only did Fang Er not only stop playing with him, but he also attracted Xue Wanche, who was now a stranger to him. Thinking again about these two men, one of them served as a vanguard to attack the city in Liaodong and was deeply trusted by His Majesty Li Er, while the other defeated Tuyuhun in Hexi and had no difference in military power. Li Yuanjing became even more aggrieved.
If these two people are still under his command, why worry about big things happening?
I don’t know what went wrong that caused such talented people to part ways with me one after another. Look at the remaining people around you. Chai Lingwu and Du He are dandies, and He Qian Chengji and others cannot stand on the stage...
It really makes me sigh with regret, and the more I think about it, the more frustrated I become.
Dong Mingyue stood up, knelt down behind Li Yuanjing, put a pair of Rouyi on his shoulders and kneaded him softly, and said softly: "Why do you do this, Your Majesty? Things are changing, and things are unpredictable, not to mention people's hearts. The so-called heroes make the times, wait and see. When the prince is prosperous and has great momentum, naturally countless wealthy people will Jie Wangjing Cong, why does he need a mere Fangjun? As for the opportunity to seize the throne, there is no need to lament. The king of Jin will definitely not be willing to stay dormant, and he will always stir up trouble. The prince is hiding in the abyss. When the time comes, it will naturally take off.”
Smelling the fragrance of the beauty, Li Yuanjing gradually calmed down.
Although his talents are limited, he is not a fool after all. He just has too high expectations and is a little anxious when he encounters setbacks.
Taking a sip of tea, he gloated: "The more prestigious Fang Er is now, the more disgraced that boy Chai Zhewei becomes. Who would have thought that the menacing Tuyuhun army is like a clay body that can be broken with a single poke? Hehe, Chai Zhewei estimates that this My intestines turned green after a while.”
The greater the pressure on Chai Zhewei, the more eager he will be to seek change and unwilling to settle for the status quo, so he will have no choice but to move closer to him.
Although this man is as timid as a mouse and as stupid as a pig, his status is there after all, and he has the only fully-staffed military guard in Chang'an, so he may be worthy of a big job.
But I don’t know when will His Majesty Li Er, who is personally conducting the expedition, be able to return to Chang’an?
It would be best if we delay it for a while longer. Once the situation in Chang'an is completely disrupted, it will not be possible to put it back in order overnight. By that time, even if His Majesty Li Er returns to Chang'an, the forces in the DPRK and China have already changed, and the root of the chaos has been laid.
Unless His Majesty Li Er changes his mind and fully supports the Crown Prince instead of still hoping that King Jin can replace him, sooner or later there will be chaos.
No matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, he cannot make all his ministers give up their own interests to be loyal and patriotic...
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
Otherwise, who will mess with you?
Everything in the world is ultimately just profit. It's just that some people don't like wealth and gain, but they pursue fame for generations to come.
Whether it’s fame or profit, aren’t they all benefits?
Dong Mingyue paused slightly with her slender hands, frowned, and said softly: "At present, Fang Jun's reputation and authority are increasing day by day, which plays a great role in stabilizing the status of the prince. Should the prince support His Highness the King of Jin? The King of Jin himself He was in a weak position, but now that the prince has become stronger with the help of Fang Jun, I am afraid that the king of Jin will not be able to support him. "
Although the Guanlong Gate Valve still has its heritage, after several years of suppression, it is no longer what it used to be.
No matter in the court or in the army, the courtesy dropped sharply and the right to speak was gradually lost. The Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families who rose up in their place pursued and fiercely pursued him, causing his power to plummet.
The King of Jin was too weak to rely solely on the support of the Guanlong clan.
Li Yuanjing said: "You don't understand the background of Guanlong Clan, so you can say such words. However, the power of Guanlong Clan is definitely beyond your expectation. Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty is giving instructions to Guanlong Clan? The clan clan supports the King of Jin to seize the throne, but on the other hand, they spare no effort to suppress it? Is it because the hidden power of the Guanlong clan is too strong? If it cannot be suppressed and cut off, even if the King of Jin succeeds in taking the throne in the future, it will inevitably happen. It fell to the point where it was controlled by the Guanlong clan. It rose in Mobei and survived for hundreds of years. It single-handedly created the three dynasties of Wei, Sui and Tang. How could the Jiangnan nobles and Shandong aristocratic families easily resist? Heng? Just wait and see. Once the Guanlong clan thinks that the time has come, there is no need to hold back, and the power they show will be enough to shock the government and the public, and the world will look at them with suspicion."
