Chapter 3487 Intrigue
Is there anything right or wrong in this world?
The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, that's all.
Yu Wenshiji stroked his beard, raised his eyelids, and said slowly: "That's true, but you still have to be steady as an auxiliary, and don't be too eager for quick success. What kind of family is the Fang family? Fang Xuanling is as gentle as jade. Although she is inferior to you in power and status, her reputation is much better than yours. Now Fang Xuanling has left the government and gone to Jiang. While Nan You was traveling in Linquan, Fang Jun even led his army in the icy and snowy Western Region to fight against a powerful enemy ten times his own. At this time, people were harassing Fang's house and humiliating a family of old, weak, women and children. What do you think of the civil and military forces in the DPRK? ? What do you want the people of the world to think? There is a limit to everything, and there is a gap between advance and retreat. This is very inappropriate. ”
They are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom all their lives. Why did Changsun Wuji harass the Fang family? What kind of evil thoughts are hidden behind it? How could Yu Wenshiji not know?
It is clear that he wants to provoke a complete confrontation between Guanlong and Jiangnan and Shandong, and even achieve the goal of either/or. He will tie all the Guanlong families tightly to the chariot of the Changsun family and go to face Jiangnan and Shandong together. Shandong’s hatred and counterattack.
However, today's Guan Long is no longer the same as in the early years of Zhenguan. Although there is still a loose alliance between the various families, they are more suspicious and wary of each other. This military remonstrance could be regarded as the last time that the family heads and clan elders responded to Changsun Wuji's call. However, this close and mutual trust situation was broken by Changsun Wuji himself.
You want to kidnap every family in Guanlong, but you have to ask each family if they are willing, right?
Yuwen Jie expressed his opposition on the spot, and therefore led the Yuwen family children to leave angrily. The reason why Yuwen Shiji came here in person regardless of his illness was just because he didn't want to completely break up with Changsun Wuji, but there was a bottom line.
If Changsun Wuji insists on going his own way, then Yuwen Shiji will leave in a hurry. From then on, the Yuwen family will completely draw a clear line with the Guanlong clan and will not be complicit.
If Changsun Wuji obeys his advice, then coming here in person will give Changsun Wuji a chance to change the situation. There will no longer be any barriers between the two families and they can work together to plan big things.
Changsun Wuji also understood what Yuwen Shiji meant. If he honestly attacked the imperial city, deposed the East Palace, and then supported a prince who could protect everyone's interests, then the Yuwen family would advance and retreat with him and do their best. Help.
If there are other ideas, the Yuwen family will completely withdraw and part ways from now on.
Changsun Wuji hesitated in his heart, because once the Yuwen family's complete withdrawal was revealed by Yuwen Shiji, almost all the Longmen clan would be affected.
Previously, when the Yuwen family's troops entered Chang'an City, they intended to enter the city from the Dugu family's defense area. However, Dugu Lan personally refused and the Yuwen family had to change their route to the Jinguang Gate to enter the city.
This shows that the Dugu family has taken care of themselves and completely withdrawn from the Guanlong Alliance this time.
If the Yuwen family withdraws again, if a cornerstone of the Guanlong Alliance is taken away, this seemingly huge building may collapse in the next moment, and the one who will be completely buried in the ruins can only be the eldest son of the family who advocated this military remonstrance. ……
What's more, Changsun Wen has now fallen into the hands of the Fang family. Even if this son is in trouble, he is still his son. He can't just watch his son being lit by the Fang family and hung in front of the house in front of the public, right?
He thought about it in his mind and had the idea of compromising, but he could not bow his head so easily, otherwise the leadership of the Changsun family would be lost.
After thinking for a while, he muttered: "There is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. It was my lack of consideration before, and I almost made a big mistake. I think back then, our Guanlong families started from the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. To this day, they are still the same. To occupy the center of power in the world, we rely not on the bravery of our children, nor on the far-reaching strategies, but on unity! Our families marry each other, and together we are stronger. This is our ability. To continue the power and wealth from generation to generation to this day, what I am doing today is also to pass this power and wealth to the next generation, so that the descendants of Guanlong will not gradually become alienated from the central power due to the change of dynasties. The wealth accumulated over the years has been robbed, and the descendants have become untouchables... Therefore, I follow the advice of Duke Ying."
Yu Wenshiji chuckled and narrowed his old yellow eyes slightly.
This Changsun Wuji deserves the nickname "Yin Man". These words seemed to magnanimously accept his own suggestions, but they put everything on the word "unity" and placed himself in the position of "leading unity."
From now on, if any of the Guanlong clans disobeys his orders, they will be breaking their unity and will be ostracized, hated, and even retaliated by the other Guanlong clans.
He then heard Changsun Wuji sighing and saying with emotion: "To be honest with Duke Ying, the dog went to Fang's house earlier, although it was on my order, but he didn't dare to be too rude. After he went to Fang's house, he was respectful and polite. But was Princess Gaoyang shot down her horse with an arrow, and was captured alive by Princess Zhende. She threatened to light the dog's sky lantern because of it and then hang it in front of the door to show the public... I was very anxious and was about to send troops. I went to rescue him, but after listening to the words of Duke Ying, I deeply realized the importance of the unity of the Guanlong family. I must not go to the Fang family to ask for a dog, otherwise I would be misunderstood by the government and the public and abuse and humiliate the Fang family, which would in turn make the Guanlong family I think I am taking the opportunity to cause trouble... So, just let the dog fall into the hands of the Fang family. After all, he is also a descendant of Guanlong. He is killed or chopped up as he pleases. "
Yuwen Shiji: "..."
He looked at Changsun Wuji's expression and felt that Changsun Wen's falling into the Fang family didn't look like a lie...
I came here to occupy a position of righteousness and to take credit for my "admonishment to Sun Wuji", so that when the matter is completed, the Yuwen family can take the initiative to share the profits. But he didn't want to be suddenly pushed into an embarrassing place by Changsun Wuji. In order not to be suspected by him, he deliberately set the Guanlong clan against the forces of Shandong and Jiangnan to coerce everyone. He even gave up his own son. What a shame. High-spirited?
But for the sake of the unity of Guanlong and the interests of the Yuwen family, he, Yuwenshiji, forced Changsun Wuji to give up even his own son...
Mother!
Sure enough, he is an old fox who hides his sword in his smile. He is so slippery that he will be bitten if he is not careful.
Having said that, what else can Yuwen Shiji say?
He could only say: "Don't worry, auxiliary. I still have some dignity in the Fang family. I will come to the house to plead for mercy. I will definitely get my son back in full."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "How dare you trouble Duke Ying? You are old and weak, and it is freezing and snowing. What if something goes wrong, how can I feel good about it? In short, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of care, The descendants of the Long family are willing to give up even one son!”
The tone is sonorous and upright!
Many people in the hall heard Changsun Wuji's words and stared sideways with admiration.
Yuwen Shiji is speechless, are you still acting now?
Immediately he said angrily: "Now that I'm here, how can my son encounter any accidents at Fang's house? You are too evil-minded and naughty, but words like these are unnecessary."
He was of a higher generation and had seniority. Changsun Wuji couldn't turn his back on him when he spoke half-truths and half-false words to Changsun Wuji. Instead, he said with a smile: "Father and son are connected. Although Quanzi is incompetent, how can he bear it?" Seeing how he was brutally murdered? Although Fang Xuanling is gentle and kind, but from the second floor down, who among them is not ruthless? In particular, His Highness Gao Yang has a deep misunderstanding of Quanzi. Since he can shoot him off his horse with one arrow, it is unlikely that he will be tortured. There are not many people in the government and the public who can give His Highness Gao Yang face, and you are one of them. , so I have to come up with this strategy to stimulate you and let you work hard.”
Yu Wenshiji smiled bitterly and shook his head, nodded his finger at Changsun Wuji, and said: "You, you, you, this splendid strategy is indeed unmatched by anyone."
Without Changsun Wuji's strategy, how could the Guanlong clan choose His Majesty Li Er in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, and seize the throne against his will, all the way to the present? Of course, the strong strength of the Guanlong clan also pushed Changsun Wuji to the status of "the first honorable minister of Zhenguan".
It's a pity that "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He". The Guanlong clan that made Sun Wuji great in the past has now become a burden that he can't let go of. If it wasn't for the purpose of winning over the Guanlong clan and letting them always stand behind him, why would he be willing to take risks and plan this military remonstrance?
However, today's Guanlong clan has long been estranged from morality, and it is really far-fetched to maintain it by relying on interests.
When things go smoothly, we are naturally close, but once we encounter adversity, we will be overturned in an instant... (End of this chapter)
