Chapter 3618 Political Wisdom
Li Chengqian is a prince who has been carefully taught by His Majesty Li Er. Although it is difficult to meet the requirements of His Majesty Li Er in many aspects, in terms of his own ability, he is enough to surpass many princes in the past and present. His political wisdom may be worse than those of those officials who have experienced ups and downs in officialdom. Some, but their vision is definitely not bad.
At present, the East Palace is unanimous in dealing with the outside world, and the internal differences are temporarily hidden, but it definitely does not mean that these differences do not exist.
Interests determine positions, and positions mean differences. No matter whether it is the imperial court or the Eastern Palace, it is impossible for any organization in the world to be united and sincerely united. There will always be various frictions, and these frictions and differences are all caused by Benefits come.
Interests are constant, just put them there. If you take more points, others will lose one point. This is where disagreements arise and fights arise...
It is impossible for a person in power to take care of everyone's interests and satisfy everyone, and this does not have to be the case. Disagreements mean fights. For those in power who hold absolute power, appropriate battles can not only promote competition, but also make all parties involved in the fight increasingly dependent on the favor of the power, thereby achieving the purpose of suppressing their opponents.
A sword has two edges. Nothing is black or white, this or that. Poison can cure illness, and good medicine can kill. This is the truth.
Therefore, Li Chengqian was willing to see disagreements and fights between his civil and military ministers, but he did not want Fang Jun to be everyone's target. "The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." He regarded Fang Jun as the leader of the East Palace. Pillars can form their own faction to occupy more interests, but they cannot be the one who joins a group to attack.
……
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then thought about the intention of Li Chengqian's words, and said quickly: "What your Highness said is true. The edge of a sword is sharpened. The more outstanding talents are, the more they have to withstand the hammering and tempering. The veteran will definitely stay more in the future." Haha, speaking of it, Yue Guogong can be regarded as half a disciple of Lao Chen. Lao Chen only has a stupid student in Su Dingfang, but he has not learned much in his life, and he often feels deeply regretful."

He doesn't care what kind of differences others have or how they will fight in the future. He is impatient with this, but he is not willing to suffer. So now he clearly tells the prince and everyone present that Fang Er and I are together, and we don't care about anything. , If you want to fight, just go find a house and don't bother me.
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Jing speechlessly, extremely depressed.
His original intention was to give Li Jing a beating, but not to brag about Fang Junzhi's achievements too much, so as not to arouse the fear of others and make countless enemies. But Li Jing's words pushed Fang Jun even more to the opposite side of everyone - Li Jing, the dignified Duke of Wei, expressed his support for Fang Jun. Doesn't it mean that the entire East Palace army is standing behind Fang Jun?
This power is not to be said to be the envy, jealousy and hostility of the officials in the East Palace. Even if he, the prince, was more narrow-minded and jealous, he would be afraid of Fang Jun.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he made great achievements in war, but in the end he tried to waste his efforts and eventually faded out of the court and lived in a secluded mansion. Li Jing's life experience seemed miserable and unlucky, but in fact it was inevitable.
This political wisdom is too poor...
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. Li Chengqian had to change the topic: "Longshouyuan has been recovered, Changsun Jiaqing has been defeated. I wonder what countermeasures Changsun Wuji will have?"
Li Jing stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and said confidently: "Right now, the Guanlong army seems to have a large number of people, but in fact, its combat power is seriously insufficient. It can only focus on Taiji Palace. It has little control over the outside of Chang'an City, otherwise it will not be possible." The Youtun Guards will be allowed to raid Baqiao first, and then Attack Longshouyuan. Changsun Wuji is a calm man and will not take any big action to retaliate at this time. Instead, he will shrink his troops and strengthen the attack on Taiji Palace, while urging the world to send reinforcements to Guanzhong as soon as possible. "
He paused for a moment, looked back at the map hanging on the wall, and said slowly: "So, Changsun Wuji must put all his hope in the help of all the powerful people in the world. At that time, it will be the decisive battle in Changsun Wuji's heart." Time.”
At present, the enemy and we are evenly matched. Guanlong's army has more people, but Donggong's army is more powerful. For a while, no one can do anything about the other. Although Fang Jun dealt a heavy blow to Guanlong's army and severely damaged the morale of Guanlong's army, he was still far from victory.
Of course, Changsun Wuji also understood this, and would never act like a momentary hero and launch a retaliatory counterattack. Instead, he would shrink his troops to preserve the results of the victory at this moment, and pin all his hopes on the moment when the reinforcements from the world's elite arrive.
After all, the Western Region is thousands of miles away. Even if the Anxi Army completely stabilizes the situation in the Western Region and rushes for reinforcements, it will still take two months of journey. However, the nobles from Hedong, Shandong, and even Jiangnan and Bashu can quickly reach Guanzhong, and the time is Guanlong's side.
Li Chengqian looked solemn and nodded slowly. The joy brought by Fang Jun's recovery of Longshouyuan also dissipated a lot - after all, until now, the East Palace is still at a disadvantage, and in the foreseeable future, the huge crisis is still irreparable.

Prince Qi's Mansion.
In the garden, a pavilion stands under the rockery and beside the pool. Unfortunately, it is the middle of winter. The pool is frozen and the vegetation has withered. Only dozens of towering trees are left covered with frost. Looking around, they are all silvery white.
A white gauze curtain surrounds the pavilion to block the wind and snow. Inside the pavilion, a small red clay stove has a charcoal fire. A silver wine pot is placed on the road. Steam is slightly emitting from the spout. The rich aroma of wine fills the semi-enclosed space. Inside, two gorgeously dressed maids knelt on one side, pouring wine with their bare hands while placing the snacks and side dishes in the food boxes on the coffee table.
King Li You of Qi was dressed in a brocade robe and a majestic crown. He looked very noble. He raised his hand to pick up the wine glass and smiled at Yin Hongzhi opposite him: "Little Wang has a drink for uncle."
Yin Hongzhi quickly raised his glass and said respectfully: "How dare you, my lord? Your Highness, please!"
The nephew and uncle were polite, raised their glasses together, and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, Li You picked up a longan with a bamboo clip and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he asked: "I heard that Baqiao was attacked today. What is the specific situation?"
Yin Hongzhi also put down his wine glass, waved his hand to repel the maid, then poured wine from a pot, with a gloomy look on his face, and said: "Liu Gang, the head of the Liu family in Hedong, fell into the Ba Bridge, and was later trapped by the ruins. He finally rescued him. He is now alive and dead." ... Wei Zhengju heard that the Youtun guards were approaching Baqiao and fled back to the city. Tens of thousands of troops were defeated by the Youtun guards. "
Li You shook his head and said sarcastically: "This Wei Zhengju looks like a dog all day long, with his eyes above his head. He calls himself a 'hero' among the younger generation. It's really laughable. He dares to talk to Fang Jun." Comparable?”
At first Wei Zhengju coveted the beauty of Princess Changle, and then he coveted Princess Jinyang, which made all the princes look down upon her. Regardless of their stance, these princes all respected Princess Changle and fell in love with Princess Jinyang. How could they be willing to be married into the family with an embroidered pillow like Wei Zhengju?
Yin Hongzhi didn't care whether Wei Zhengju was dead or alive, and continued: "More than that, at noon, Fang Jun personally took command of the Youtunwei camp. He first bombarded Sun Jiaqing's troops in Longshouyuan with artillery, and then dispatched weapons. Pack The iron cavalry defeated Changsun Jiaqing's troops in one fell swoop. Now, the entire Longshou Plain has fallen into the control of the East Palace, and the Youtun guards are directly threatening the Guanlong army in the east of Chang'an City. "
He encouraged Qi Wang Li You to seek refuge with Changsun Wuji. Naturally, he hoped that Guanlong, led by Changsun Wuji, would win a great victory. As long as Qi Wang Li You ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, he, his uncle and military advisor, could rise to the top and become the master. A man of great power in the government.
But now Guan Long's army is retreating steadily when facing Fang Jun. This is not a good sign. Once Guan Long finally fails, the end he will face will be extremely miserable...
Li You was stunned for a moment, but he had mixed feelings.
He naturally hopes that Guan Long will win so that he can become the crown prince, but he also understands that when the victory is decided, it will be time for him to send his two brothers on their way. By then, Changsun Wuji would definitely force him to kill the King of Wei and the King of Jin with his own hands. Even if he was unwilling, he would never be able to escape.
Changsun Wuji must use this as a lever to achieve complete control over him...
But no matter how much he coveted the position of prince, he was unwilling to kill his brother with his own hands and leave a fatal clue. From then on, he would be coerced by Changsun Wuji for the rest of his life, becoming Changsun Wuji's puppet, and leaving him with eternal infamy. .
Even if he is as talented as his father and a great leader of his generation, he still has to face the stigma of "killing brothers and killing brothers" from time to time, let alone Li You?
There has always been a question: Why do Cantonese people eat Fujian people?
