Chapter 3239 Everyone has their own plans
In the dynasty era, no matter how powerful the power was, it had to rely on the imperial power. If neither the prince nor the king of Jin could be relied upon by the Wei family in the future, how could the Jingzhao Wei family settle down and live in peace?
Wei Ting stretched out his hand, patted the letter on the desk, and looked at Wei Yuancheng with clear eyes.
Wei Yuancheng shook his head: "The succession is the ancestral line. The King of Jin can ascend the throne. All he needs to do is depose the crown prince and exile the King of Wei, and then he can be justified. But this person is not of His Majesty's flesh and blood. He is not even a direct descendant of the royal family. how Can he succeed to the throne and dominate the world? If this person really has this intention, he will either be destroyed in an instant, or... the country will be shaken, the country will be shaken, and the empire will be shattered. "
Wei Ting said: "Isn't it the right thing to strive for victory in chaos and to seize millet from fire? If we remain unchanged, how can we have a future for our family?"
Wei Yuancheng still disagreed: "The existence of aristocratic families requires a chaotic situation to pursue interests, but interests should not be placed in troubled times. From the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, and then to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, during this period Looks like aristocratic family The family has grabbed the greatest profits, but you have to know how much the family has paid for it, and how many hairpin families have disappeared? Only in chaos can you make profits, but in troubled times, you can't do anything about it. "
The aristocratic families need a chaotic situation, because then the imperial power will rely more and more on them, but if troubled times come, everyone will suffer together.
The most brilliant method is to keep the country in chaos while the government is in chaos. If the world is shattered and war is everywhere, and all living beings are ants, the aristocratic families will also suffer heavy losses.
If you can rise from the troubled times, you will definitely gain the greatest benefits, but if something goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe that will overthrow the family and cut off the blood heir...
Wei Ting disagreed. Both of them had read the contents of the envelope. He said: "The prince is cowardly, the king of Jin is immature, the king of Wei is not here, and the king of Wu is beyond his reach... Looking at the court, who can compete with that one?"
Wei Yuancheng frowned and said: "But Your Majesty is still here. Once His Majesty returns to the court, do you think that with this ability, you can turn his hand into clouds and rain, and seize it in reverse?"
During the Zhenguan Dynasty, all the ministers in the DPRK had a kind of blind worship and fear for His Majesty Li Er, no matter what their stance was. It was the unparalleled feat of killing "three thousand to one hundred thousand" in front of Hulao Pass, and it was also the "Night of Xuanwu Gate". "Use the weak to defeat the strong and counterattack to seize the creation of the world.
Both civil and military skills are rare for thousands of years. Who dares to covet such a peerless hero?
As long as His Majesty Li Er is still breathing, no one will dare to mention the idea of "rebellion". Hou Junji was forced to take this road, but the result was that he was pressed into the dust before even making a splash, and his body was wiped out.
Hou Junji followed His Majesty all the way in the battles and made countless meritorious deeds. He was a hero in the founding of the country. His Majesty was so majestic that he never held his entire family accountable for his crimes and only punished the first offender.
But if someone plots rebellion again, who dares to expect that Your Majesty will still care about the old relationship and be open-minded? There will definitely be heads rolling and rivers of blood flowing.
Wei Ting still insisted: "It's not like we need to take action now. Although your Majesty has great talents and strategies, he is already very old, and the news from the army is that your Majesty only relies on pills to maintain his energy, which shows that his body functions are already extremely weak... …How many more years will we have after this Eastern Expedition? We are just preparing for a rainy day.”
Indeed, as long as His Majesty Li Er is here, no one dares to rebel.
But His Majesty Li Er is also a human being, and he has been aging too fast due to taking pills all year round. Once His Majesty Li Er dies... with the prince's ability and prestige, how can he suppress the arrogant soldiers and heroes from all walks of life? ?
A fight is inevitable.
What the Wei family has to do is to stand in line early, prepare for a rainy day, and go all out when the day comes, rather than wait and see, get stuck, and miss opportunities...
This time Wei Yuancheng did not refute, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed: "It's a pity that King Ji is not a direct descendant, and King Qi is not successful, otherwise why would this happen..."
His daughter, Concubine Wei, gave birth to King Li Shen of Ji. Wei Ting's daughter married King Li You of Qi and became his concubine. Jingzhao Wei was regarded as a legitimate royal relative. It's a pity that King Ji has no rightful name, and King Qi is an unknown person. Otherwise, if he chooses one and gives full support, it is still unclear who will win. Why should we take huge risks to make a choice now and make a wedding dress for others?
Seeing Wei Yuancheng finally relenting, Wei Ting also breathed a sigh of relief.
First, his wife was forced to death by his own hands, and then the outstanding criminals in the family were brutally killed, which filled Wei Ting's heart with hatred. And he understood that whether the prince or the king of Jin ascended to the throne, it was not the best outcome for Jingzhao Weishi, and suppression was almost inevitable.
Only by finding another way can we revitalize the family and make Jingzhao Webster become the first-class family in the world.
Risks and opportunities coexist. The higher the risk, the greater the return. This is not only the truth among businessmen, but also the true meaning in officialdom.
If you are reluctant to part with the family's heritage, how can you exchange for a glorious lintel?
Since the Wei family has no way out, instead of waiting for death and waiting for the crown prince or the King of Jin to be suppressed after they ascend the throne, it is better to take risks.
It's just a matter of hard work. If you succeed, you will become a prince, if you fail, you will become a bandit. Things in the world are the fairest...
*****
Zuotunwei military camp.
Chai Zhewei "recuperated" at home for several days. It was not until Fang Jun led half of the Youtun guards out to control Hexi that he "recovered" and returned to camp.
However, the news of the great victory in Hexi came shortly afterwards. Chai Zhewei felt regretful and depressed, and almost "fell ill" again...
In order to avoid the errand to go out to town in Hexi, he even lost his face, fearing that he would be defeated by tens of thousands of Tuyuhun cavalry and lose the prestige of the Chai family. When Fang Jun went to war, he also ridiculed that the guy was really a stick. He seemed to be great for "doing something knowing that he couldn't do it", but in fact he was extremely stupid.
As a result, before he could be happy for a long time, Fang Jun beheaded tens of thousands, captured countless people, and defeated the Tuyuhun army. In one battle, he achieved such feats that he could rest on his credit book and wait for death for the rest of his life!
This is not the same as when Xue Yantuo was overthrown by his troops. No matter how tyrannical Xue Yantuo was, he was only located in Mobei. Although he had constant troubles with the Tang Dynasty, he could not threaten the survival of the Tang Dynasty. But Tuyuhun was completely different. Its tens of thousands of elite cavalry went out to fight against the valley, directly threatening the safety of the counties in Hexi, and then intimidating Guanzhong, and the troops were directed towards Chang'an. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of subjugating the country!
After this battle, Fang Jun's momentum was unparalleled. The people in Guanzhong celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and Fang Jun's prestige was unparalleled.
Chai Zhewei became a completely negative example and was ridiculed and scorned...
……
There is a stove burning in the tent, the north wind is blowing outside the window, and the inside of the tent is as warm as spring.
There was a pot of tea on the table. Chai Zhewei and his confidant You Wenzhi sat across from each other. They drank a sip of tea and sighed, looking unhappy and extremely depressed.
Chai Zhewei really regretted it.
Damn an army of tens of thousands!
Damn elite cavalry!
If I had known that Tuyuhun's army was such a vulnerable mob, I would have taken advantage of it myself. How could it be Fang Jun's turn to take advantage?
Shuzi became famous because of his miscalculation of the situation...
You Wenzhi held the pot to refill Chai Zhewei's cup with tea, and consoled him: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and wealth. Who could have predicted in advance that Tuyuhun would be so vulnerable? Fang Jun deserves to be the one to set up a mission that will bless generations." The commander-in-chief doesn’t need to care about meritorious deeds.”
It was more of a warning than a comfort. Chai Zhewei became more and more depressed after hearing these words.
The Chai family does not lack a prominent family and connections, but what they lack is a well-known achievement! The reason why he is a meritorious official with royal blood but cannot enter the center and be trusted by His Majesty, isn't it because neither his father Chai Shao nor he himself lacks merit?
Now, he is seeing a huge achievement coming to his door, which is enough to make him step into the center, and even make the Chai family become a top family, but because of his cowardice and misjudgment of the situation, he was handed over to others...< br>
"Time is destiny, who can I blame?"
Chai Zhewei shook his head, smiled bitterly, and took a sip of tea.
You Wenzhi also picked up the tea cup and changed the subject: "I heard that Wei Zhengju died and died in the 'Baiqisi' torture chamber. Not to mention what was the inside story behind it, I was worried that the Wei family would never let it go."
Chai Zhewei raised his eyebrows: "So what if you don't want to let it go? The eldest son's family cheated the Wei family hard. Wei Ting even killed his own wife, didn't he just lower his eyebrows and swallow it? Jingzhao Wei's, he also turned over Can’t afford any big storms.”
No matter what the truth of this matter is, the Wei family can only suffer this loss without real evidence. Even if he wants to have an attack, his strength does not allow it...
You Wenzhi shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The Wei family is indeed weak, but this is a good opportunity to attack the prince. Those who covet the throne, or those who want to disrupt the court, will fight with the Wei family out of nowhere. Everyone joins hands. One person is alone, but together they are powerful. If many forces come together because of this opportunity, they may not be able to cause some trouble. "
Chai Zhewei frowned: "You mean... you can't, right? His Majesty will lead a personal expedition and will return to Chang'an sooner or later. Even if he can succeed for a while, when your Majesty leads hundreds of thousands of troops back to Beijing, all those who covet the throne will not be there. Are you a traitor? Your Majesty is not a vegetarian!”
You Wenzhi let out a hey voice and whispered: "There are more than one or two people who covet the throne, and it may not be just His Highness King Jin... Furthermore, it is not necessarily the case that he wants to seek that position right now. His Majesty will naturally be overwhelmed by all the heroes when he is here, but His Majesty There will always be a day when I am not here..."
Chai Zhewei suddenly thought of King Jing Li Yuanjing and was horrified.
Could it be that he was playing these tricks behind his back, deliberately attacking the prince, intending to disrupt the court, or even secretly pushing all parties... (End of Chapter)
