Chapter 3488 Everyone has their own agenda
Changsun Wuji personally sent the trembling Yuwen Shiji to the door, watched him board the car with the help of his servants, and then drove away in the heavy snow. Then he returned to the lobby and had someone make a pot of hot tea and drink it. He took a sip and sighed.
Yuwen Jie took the Yuwen family's children to withdraw, allowing him to see that the precarious alliance between the Guanlong clan could fall apart at any time. On the surface, Yu Wenshiji's visit was to give his eldest son Wuji face, and to confirm his status as the continued leader of Guan Long. However, his inner intention was not to accuse Guan Long of internal strife or even split. On the body.
Wanting to follow Changsun Wuji to gain greater benefits, but also keeping enough calmness and distance at all times, so that he can retreat in time when the situation is overturned, so as not to fall into a situation that cannot extricate himself. This is what Guan Longge is currently doing. The most true idea of home.
No one spared no effort to support him as they did back then, some only used and calculated.
Even if the situation is really overturned in the future, these allies who have been tied together for generations will turn their swords against his grandson Wuji...
At that time, every family in Guanlong tried their best to seek power, and countless children sacrificed their lives and blood, just to let the descendants of the family enjoy eternal wealth. Unexpectedly, the wealth that our ancestors finally gained through their tireless hard work has corroded their aspirations and sapped their energy. Not only are they no longer willing to work hard for the future, they even forget that everything today is achieved through unity.
Without the spirit of unity and forge ahead, the Guanlong clan will become a ball of loose sand that can be pounced on and torn into pieces by political opponents at any time and at any time.
Sadly, even Yuwenshi and the elders of this clan could not see through the dangers hidden in this seemingly peaceful situation. They could not foresee that once the prince ascended the throne, Guan Long would become a roadblock to the imperial power, and various families would be under new rule. The emperor regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and he was eager to get rid of it quickly.
After being discouraged for a while, Changsun Wuji cheered up again. After all, there was no successor among the children of the Changsun family. If he wanted to keep the family at the center of power, he could only rely on him to work hard for the rest of his life and provide a good foundation for future generations. Create a golden rice bowl that will never be broken.
While the alliance between the Guanlong clan still retains its last bit of strength, the Changsun family must be pushed to an unshakable position.
After drinking all the tea, he summoned a nephew and ordered: "Take my seal and go outside the Xuanwu Gate to urge Chai Zhewei to raise troops as soon as possible."
No matter which direction Chai Zhewei takes, he must be allowed to capture the Xuanwu Gate as soon as possible, enter the Forbidden Palace, and completely destroy the Sixth Army's formation in the East Palace. As long as Donggong Liu was defeated and the prince was deposed, even if Chang'an City fell into chaos, he believed that it would still be the Guanlong clan that would ultimately win and control the situation.
But if the battle of the Imperial City is allowed to drag on, the situation in the world will change rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, especially since the Eastern Expedition army is returning from a long journey, and time does not wait for us.
"Here!"
When the nephew heard this, he quickly took the order and left.
Changsun Wuji picked up the teapot again, but found that the teapot was empty. After thinking about it, he called a servant at home and said, "Go back to the house immediately and bring Qilang."
Although the current battle situation requires him to sit in command and make final decisions, such an opportunity can cultivate the abilities of his descendants, and at the very least, it can enhance his sense of presence and enhance his prestige. However, Changsun Yan had a cold heart and defected to the East Palace. Naturally, he did not dare to entrust him with a big responsibility. Changsun Wen was ruthless and suitable for running the family, but he was currently captured by the Fang family.
The remaining eldest son Xun, eldest son Ze and eldest son Run are all too young and their personalities are not calm enough. After all calculations, only the eldest son of the seventh son, Sun Jing, is barely suitable.
Of course, whether it is suitable or not, we still need to observe it and see how it behaves in a chaotic situation...
"Here!"
The servant left quickly.
Changsun Wuji picked up the teapot again, and then he remembered that he had discovered that there was no water in the teapot just now, but he had forgotten it in such a short time...
I couldn't help but sigh, looking at the noisy crowds running back and forth in the hall, my thoughts were flying...
*****
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Li Yuanjing stood in front of the window wearing a brocade robe, with his hands behind his hands looking at the dim light outside the window and the falling snow. He tried to calm down, but his heart was almost boiling.
Who would have thought that the opportunity that you have been waiting so hard for would appear so unexpectedly?
Once upon a time, he thought that such an opportunity would never come to him in his lifetime...
The empire is getting stronger and stronger, and Li Er's foundation is getting more and more stable. Whether it is the former Sui officials or Li Jiancheng's die-hard party members, they are all dead now, and no one will mention the old events of Xuanwu Sect. , killing brothers, killing brothers, and forcing one's father to abdicate gradually became unworthy of mention in the face of the power of imperial power.
No one dares to challenge Li Er's authority. Moreover, now that Li Er is in his prime and powerful, Li Yuanjing feels that even if he dies, Li Er may not die...
But who would have thought that suddenly the clouds would clear and the sun would appear, and everything would turn around.
Nowadays, the government and the public, as well as inside and outside Chang'an, are discussing how Changsun Wuji dared to launch troops to depose the East Palace so unscrupulously. They are confused about how to explain to His Majesty even if he succeeds, and how to bear His Majesty's anger...
But Li Yuanjing knew that His Majesty might not be able to return to Chang'an.
First, the news that "His Majesty fell from his horse and was seriously injured" spread in Chang'an City, but the imperial court never came forward to refute the rumor. Then the Eastern Expedition army gave up halfway and suddenly withdrew the army after failing to conquer Pingrang City. Then Changsun Wuji sneaked back to Chang'an. Presiding over military admonishment... These things, when connected in series, almost point to an indisputable fact.
That is to say, His Majesty Li Er was very likely to have been seriously injured in the army and died of his injuries. However, Li Ji and others kept it secret for the sake of stabilizing the overall situation and only made the journey back to Chang'an.
Otherwise, how would his eldest grandson Wuji dare to send troops into the city to issue military remonstrances, intending to depose the crown prince established by His Majesty Li Er in a manual?
With Li Er's domineering character, no matter how unbearable the crown prince he appointed was, he could only depose him alone. How could he endure it when others usurped the imperial power and overran the throne?
"Your Majesty, the people sent to Xuanwu Gate are back."
Dong Mingyue is dressed in splendid palace attire. Under the candlelight, her ice-cold skin and jade-like skin are as beautiful as a flower. Her figure is graceful and her eyebrows are graceful, just like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
"Oh? Summon us quickly!"
Li Yuanjing had no intention of admiring the beauty at the moment, so he walked back to the desk impatiently and sat down.
Dong Mingyue came to the door, nodded slightly to the people outside, and then retreated to the side of the desk. A person walked in quickly from outside the door, stepped forward to salute, and said: "See the prince!"
It is He Qian Chengji.
Li Yuanjing waved his hand and said impatiently: "No need to be polite, what did Chai Zhewei say?"
Dong Mingyue brewed a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of He Gan Chengji. He Gan Chengji stared at those delicate white and beautiful hands, his eyes passed over the peerless face that was shy of the moon, and his heart pounded. He jumped, quickly looked away to avoid losing his composure, and said first: "Thank you, Miss Dong..."
Then he said to Li Yuanjing: "Duke Qiao has already promised that once the time is right, he will immediately raise troops to capture Xuanwu Gate."
"Hey!"
Li Yuanjing first clapped his hands with unspeakable excitement, and then said angrily: "This boy is too slippery and has no courage. Now that the rebels are besieging the imperial city, the Sixth Commander of the East Palace has no time to care about him. If he raises troops to attack Xuanwu Gate at this time, he will definitely Can easily defeat the Youtun Guards Zhang Shigui and the Imperial Guard from the Xuanwu Sect said that when the time is right, the time is right. The eldest son, Sun Wuji, has already broken through the Imperial City and entered the Forbidden Palace. What a waste!" >
The so-called "doing great things without cherishing one's life" was a comment given to him by Li Yuanjing from both the government and the public in recent years. He actually felt that Chai Zhewei was more suitable.
It is certainly risky to raise troops to attack Xuanwu Gate now, but the level of risk also means the size of the benefits. When Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the family, has already conquered the imperial city and is sure of victory, and you raise troops to attack Xuanwu Gate again, what will be the benefit even if you win?
But at this time, as long as the Xuanwu Gate is captured, no matter whether you choose Li Yuanjing or Changsun Wuji, you are absolutely qualified to ask for more benefits...
The flames soaring into the sky from the Imperial City and the roaring thunder shook Li Yuanjing's heartstrings one after another, making him impatient and on pins and needles.
Dong Mingyue observed the words and said softly: "Since Chai Zhewei is hesitant, why not go to the Youtunwei camp in person and urge him to immediately raise troops to attack Xuanwu Gate? Looking at the current situation, the rebels are certainly powerful, but The six leaders of the East Palace are all elite, and it is impossible for the rebels to invade the imperial city for a while. The place to break the deadlock must be at the Xuanwu Gate. Whoever controls the Xuanwu Gate will be the final winner." (End of this chapter)
